In reality we all know that you care more about bullshit voter fraud than actual voter suppression.

Not really. You could hang out here instead.

Which part was the mistake? Breaking in, looting, parading the confederate flag, killing a cop, insurrection?

Hopefully.

Yes! They could get Peter Thiel back on board. It would be like old times.

It is to people who get furious at the thought of a gay wedding.

Yes, after four years of the Trump administration, this is what we'll scratch our heads about. This is what will seem strange and surreal and irrational. Absolutely.

He read that, in the usual monotone he reserves for words he doesn't believe for a second. Did you actually believe he was sincere?

If being a billionaire doesn't allow you give the finger to the stupidest people in America, what's the point?

First they came for the National Socialists.

Twitter is an American company. Americans don't care about what happens anywhere else. Don't complicate it.

You do know that the Republicans repeatedly dragged tech CEOs in front of their kangaroo courts to air their entirely fabricated grievances, right? Why would technology companies be worried about Democrats after surviving four years of that?

Good point. Someone has to pay for their disability benefits.

Interesting. Is anyone with a shred of credibility confirming that?

Oh puhleez. Now it's Reddit's fault? The rest of us are supposed to spend our time keeping these wingnuts from radicalizing themselves?

Twitter isn't censoring the vast majority of people. One group will be the vast majority of people who don't get kicked off Twitter. The other group will be a relatively tiny collection of extremists.

The plural of city is cities.

Tens of millions of people who are, and always have been, more concerned about fake voter fraud than actual voter suppression.

More to the point, Trumpism is synonymous with authoritarianism. (A particularly lazy and incompetent authoritarianism, fortunately.)

So they slept through four years of Trump and this outrage is the first step in their Great Awakening? I'll go out on a limb and suggest that they were never going to be "open to liberalism" in the first place.

Everything but appeasement with these people is "playing with fire". 82 million people are tired of it.

"Cities under siege" is hyperbolic nonsense.

What paved the way for this week's lunacy was a concerted effort to cast doubt on the entire democratic process by lying about it, spread by grifters and fed to rubes. Blaming "violent leftists" for what happened this week is just encouraging the actual bad actors to avoid responsibility for their own actions (yet again).

Agreed, the statement that "the right is deeply upset by what they feel is censorship of their thoughts, which fuels their rage" doesn't necessarily apply to the entire right. It certainly does apply to the subset that recently hijacked the Republican Party though.

Merrick Garland.

The right is always deeply upset. Their rage has been fueled by demagogues and grifters for decades now. It's time to stop appeasing them.

I'm not sure that the Republican Party can maintain the current rube/scumbag coalition that long without Trump.

"Real people" already got killed. Might be time to put down the Both Sides bong.

Yes, the best way to build trust is to act as a megaphone for Donald Trump.

First they came for the narcissistic sociopaths and I said nothing.

It's not a gang, it's a club.
