  • Once again, we have lawmakers just making spurious if not outright false statements with no repercussions. When your words decide people’s reality, you should be afraid of what you say. And I don’t see that fear in legislators.

    They just say whatever the fuck incorrect bullshit they wish, and walk it back at their leisure when the effect is already resolved in throughout news media. The world’s gotten their soundclip, the base started foaming when they heard their whistles, and then the politican quietly amends “oh, I obviously didn’t mean that.” If more politicans shut the fuck up because they were scared of the repercussions of walking their statements back, then maybe there’d be more reporting on what they’ve done then the inflammatorily idiotic shit they spew every other day.

    I don’t want to be fair to fascists but the current social context does align leftism with labeling the fascists/GOP as “fascists”.

    Similarly to how 15 years ago someone shouting “let’s go, Brandon!” would make you check that hadn’t been teleported into the middle of a little league baseball game versus now where you just check how close the nearest exit is.

    Edit:

    We know who the fascists are. They know they’re fascists. There’s no reason to act like this was some Rube-Goldbergian word trap that caught out a hidden impostor. This just tripped up an idiot who probably hasn’t mastered walking and using slurs at the same time yet. Their masks have already been torn off ages ago. If y’all think playing coy with fascists is some great, newsrag “SLAM” then have fun.
