“This fucking backwards logic is insane and if the shoes were reversed--a pro-Palestinian lefty driving into a pro-Israel counter-demonstration and then shooting an armed conservative pro-Israel protester when feeling threatened--there would be no pardon from Abbott over the same circumstance.”—Travis

Excellent commentary as usual. Always remember, duplicity and hypocrisy are features, not bugs in the MAGAverse.
My only question to you is, “how are you even shocked at this point? We can’t even get Congress to put up a plaque in Congress honoring all the J6th police officers who risk their lives to save these bunch of despicable ingrates!…:)
It's not surprising, just insane. The thing all authoritarians want is to wear you down and get you to stop caring and tune out. That's how they win. Never forget how abnormal any of this shit is.
Agreed, and very true. Between the state shenanigans, the SC, and the Republican Party, it’s a war of attrition, and a slow death by a thousand cuts…:)
It's gonna take a lot of caring enough to not tune out. That's the challenge before those of us in the pro-democracy movement. I worry we are so isolated behind our screens that we will falter.
Again, I ask the Bulwark: Please give us a way to set up local, pro-democracy, in-person Bulwark pods (I am so sick of Zoom) we can opt in to so we can support each other in caring enough to defeat this minority, authoritarian illness taking hold in our country that is fuled by social media and cable news.
