My apologies for allowing my general cynicism regarding online discussions to color my perception of your tone. 🙂

My expectation is that's exactly what was implied. Do you know something I don't?

Well, they are going to have to do everything perfectly. One screw up of any kind and for the next ten years every discussion of diversity or women in leadership positions is going to include a Republican saying, "Yeah, well just look at what they did to St. Paul."

Am I going to find you railing about DEI in other comments if I trawl your history? I haven't, but this is worded like the kind of complaint that comes from someone who normally thinks diversity is awful, except when it's old white guys being excluded.

It's not about sounding intellectual, it's about recognizing that Trump's behavior leads directly to these actions. Yes, magas are little bitches about everything, but those little bitches aren't randomly fucking shit up, they are doing so for their leader and in direct response to his rhetoric and wishes.

I didn't know that, but it clearly worked well enough. 😬

The phrase you’re looking for is “stochastic terrorism”

(that's not snarkiness from me, that's the title of the article)

So much schadenfreude...

I didn't post to disagree with you, just to drive home how damn ridiculous this AG is. Sure, the law is effed, but this guy is right out of 1984.

Timothy McVeigh seems to have proven that far right whackos are very capable of building a good bomb. Be careful what you wish for.

Honestly I see elections as voting for your preferred enemy. They are never on our side. How about this, we agree that he’s better than Trump and that any reasonable person is forced to vote for him, and then we criticise him because we want better than neoliberal austerity and genocide apologia?

You get no argument from me.

Well fuck all those artists and writers who made the original works then I guess. Licensing is impractical.
