Conservatives are highly motivated by resentment and slights (perceived or otherwise). It goes along with a reactionary mindset, I think.

Agreed. I suspect that, to the extent he thinks of anything religious at all, he has this vague idea of "going to heaven" as something for "nice" people. He knows he's not nice and has contempt for people who are.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

I was about to agree with you on the greasy skin lotion thing because they absolutely do still make it, but this is so much better

#TeamCheeseburger @tealdeer.bsky.social · 8d

Why are you so determined to equate "being realistic about the chance that this administration will start a civil war" with "wanting civil war"? Seriously, what you are getting out of this?

It's the same with wealth distribution. People think wealth is far less concentrated than it really is, and they want it to be even less concentrated than that.

if you ask the average American to describe what they think a tougher immigration system should look like, they will describe something a degree of magnitude softer and more generous than the current reality.

The lesson here is that people are both better and dumber than they appear.
