Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

I remember sesame seeds and what looked like creme fraiche, but I'm sure there was a lot of other stuff in there. They were all grilled. Amazing dish!

I think there have been two separate, but both valuable and completely compatible insights posted today:
1. This one, that conservatives used to have guardrails
2. That conservatives have always been racist shitheads

What has changed isn’t conservative belief, it’s conservative behavior.

as conservatives, the party of selfish shitheads, they were indeed shitheads, often racist to boot. but the GOP used to have some taboos. "I love Hitler" would have been FAR over the line even for Dixiecrats bsky.app/profile/bill...

There is a double game at play tho among the people saying what marcotte is.

Its true not "every" Republican was like this but what's also true is.... A whole lot of them have been!

They were in the reagan and GWB coalition too.

The "not everyone" crowd needs to accept that "a lot" of them were

JD Vance will say literally anything that he thinks will get him more power. He is the platonic ideal of the soulless politician. No morals, no values, nothing but a yawning void that will never be fulfilled.

Gotta say, it takes an *amazing* lack of shame for Louisiana to show up to the Supreme Court to make the exact OPPOSITE argument than they made last year in the same case.

I couldn't do it. But I have, you know, intellectual integrity.

In the same way that deportations are Donald Trump’s top priority, getting rid of the Voting Rights Act is John Roberts’ top priority.

Reading this thread, it appears that a Supreme Court majority is ready to completely nuke what's left of the Voting Rights Act and let the South gerrymander Black voters out of representation.

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 4h

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.
