> [@Aspenglow](#): > > Sadly, much damage has nonetheless been done. And we now see that particular jackass really was playing one game of four-dimensional chess. He’s been laying the foundation since the beginning of his administration, if not before, to stoke his base into a belief that he’s being unfairly treated by the courts and that the election is being stolen from him. There is no way those idiots are going to accept the simple facts that he lost, that the election was honest and secure, and that he’s a vile pustule on the record of what was the greatest nation on Earth before he trashed democracy. And because they won’t accept that, they will start (actually I think some have probably already done this over the last four years) killing non-whites because “They stole the election”/“They stole our jobs”/“They cheated the greates president we’ve ever had”. Mind you, in that last part, the “we” in “The greatest president we’ve ever had” refers specifically to the racists. ---

Texans take their stupid ranking seriously (see Gohmert, Louis).

At what point will those of us who are not insane stop dealing with these people as if they are sane, rational human beings? Conservatives have killed people in the streets and then had other conservatives praise them and urge others to do the same. Conservatives have tried to kill people in the fucking legislative chambers of at least two states now. It’s only a matter of time, IMO, before the constraints come off completely. ---

Candace Owens, Erick Erickson, Ted Cruz, and the collective right wing hive mind are losing their shit over Harry Styles wearing a dress on the cover of Vogue magazine. Apparently they have conveniently forgotten when Individual 1 kissed Giuliani while Rudy was wearing a dress, wig, and makeup. ---
