Most Republicans in Congress remained silent (or praised) Trump's pardons of those who attacked the Capitol on 1/6; now most are silent in the wake of Trump's call for the killing of their Democratic colleagues.
And yet they claim to be concerned about "political violence."

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.

Boy is this the truth.
if you believe that a better world is possible, you may be tarred as a doomer, because achieving a better world involves calling attention to what is wrong with this one.
your very optimism is called pessimism, particularly by people for whom the current world is more than comfortable.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

there isn’t a leftist way to talk about how to get sex from women, it is a fundamentally right wing view to believe women are the keepers of sex and they are withholding it from you because you aren’t coercing them the right way.
Everyone is yelling at Ian about this but the article is good and this is a real problem! If you are a straight guy trying to get laid 99% of the advice you come across will be right wing-coded.
The left is completely silent on the subject of men getting laid - which, generally speaking, they are v.interested in doing and will continue to be interested in regardless of whether progressives want to talk about it. So the stage has been left entirely clear for the far-right.
