The other day Elon Musk dared suggest that we pursue peace in Ukraine. The backlash was instantaneous and predictable.
The non-stop warmongering of Lindsey Graham is nothing new, but what IS new is what you find a little way into the Twitter thread:
This is just more of the casual fascism that has (terrifyingly) become standard from our ‘leaders’. Dare step out of line and you’ll feel the full force of the US government bearing down on you.
This is what many pro-life protestors are realizing as the FBI ramps up its aggressive enforcement actions. (Note: this is a completely different case than the Mark Houck case I posted about earlier)
Luckily, as Graham and his ilk continue to casually threaten Americans with the power of government force, more and more Americans seem to be wising up about where this leads.
Let the idiots tslk. I'm verklept.
Those who think the Commander is being too critical of Mr Graham, even a bit harsh, might be surprised to learn others are even more critical. A notable example is Steve Deace, who has incorporated insults into his DAILY act, even using Lindsay as an improper noun and adjective. And Steve isn't even from South Carolina.
Graham is an inconsistent idiot, sometimes doing the right thing, often otherwise. His salvation is he's better than his campaign opponents, and the good people of SC have other worries than national politics, like the occasional hurricane. It's likely that better candidates could be found, but no one there seems willing to do so.
The primary cause of our political troubles is voter complacency. As long as we ignore the political process, or assume it's beyond our control, we will always suffer the worst aspects of human nature. The only mitigation for idiots is social pressure.
