I don’t understand why you wouldn’t take the opportunity to at least yell at him. I’d speak to trump on the phone if given the chance. He’d probably hang up when I asked him why his hands were so small, but I’d speak to him.

You nailed it. The right knows that there won’t be a civil war because the two sides aren’t equally violent (or equally armed): They know that most people will simply submit and take what forms of normality they can get and that the fascists will rule with an increasingly tight iron fist. Because no one bothered to…

He BROUGHT his family to a white supremacist rally.

Eh fuck that guy. He went to a pro facism rally and caught a bullet.

O’Reilly is one of the top examples of why I fucking HATE that “If you don’t talk to them, nothing will ever be solved.” It’s been this way since the Tea Party of 2009. We’ve talked to them, sat through pointless interviews like this, read the articles, even had the conversations IRL. They don’t want to budge an inch,…

Right.  I’m truly, TRULY, not trying to be a dick here. He didn’t deserve to die and that’s shitty.  But being killed when you didn’t deserve to be killed doesn’t automatically make you a hero and it doesn’t retroactively make you a good person.  I think we can say “that’s sad that he died like that” without lionizing…

Kali Reis was the best thing about Night Country. Absolutely powerhouse, and she should be a goddamn star.

Dude got killed at a hate rally. 

I also have a hard time with him being a hero for allegedly shielding his children.  He brought them to a fucking hate rally! He put them in danger for fucks sake. 

I mean, yeah, anyone with a modicum of business sense is going to get away from the guy who managed to lose money on a casino.

Well his own god doesn’t seem to care much. Trump never called his wife, Biden actually did.

This would be such an easy topic for Republicans to unplug if they wanted to avoid the heartless label, but the fact is the portion of the population that is actually trans is miniscule and the people who vote the issue are already Democrats. So this is free red meat.

That’s what I’ve been hearing down hear: aren’t there a non-zero amount of serious Republicans who are, quite frankly, sick of being lumped in with reality TV stars and and reps who give out handjobs in the back of the theatre who are just dying to speak out and reclaim the dignity of the party?

And shot by one of their own. Also a thing they keep ignoring until it’ll be impossible to hide anymore. The Vegas shooter was one of their own, too. Weird. It seems like their culture of violence breeds violence. What was it that Malcolm X said when JFK was assassinated? Oh yeah, the chickens have come home to roost.

It’s a useful term when someone has obviously behaved badly but has not actually been convicted of anything. You can’t call him a rapist or a molester in a newspaper. If you did, he’d sue you. But you can imply that anyone who leaves their teen daughter alone with him for more than a few minutes is kind of an idiot.

Adam Kinzinger is right there. Old School Republican. I don’t like his politics but at least he doesn’t appear to be a fucking psychopath.

“so many of us are the sociopolitical equivalent of an untrained kid charging the field at the Super Bowl and demanding to play QB.”

Look, wanting everyone to have reasonable healthcare insurance and believing trans people don’t have the right to exist are just two different but equal things that people can believe, right?

No but I have Anthem, which is basically like not having health insurance but is somehow way more expensive.

Now this is what keeps me coming back to AVC.  Bravo.
