So just going with closed minded dick, then.

That story is horrifying on so many levels. If even half the claims in there are true, all the "adults" involved deserve the slowest, most painful death imaginable.

Instead of saying you read the book and acting like a closed-minded dick, you could actually read the article and actually find out what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

The thing is, normalcy bias prevents people from listening when you call them rapists, fascists, totalitarians, and all those other things they actually are. But "weird"? Weird is obvious, and it cuts into the Republican brand to the bone.

Trump's whole appeal is based on a fiction of him representing the common man; the "blue collar billionaire". More than that, the Republican party has built their entire brand for decades on a sort of radical normalcy, on being the voice of the "silent majority", on being the representatives of "real America" against those latte liberal elites from the coasts. "Weird" takes all the wind out of those sails. They don't actually represent middle America; they're way too out there for that. And it's long past time somebody said so.

And I sincerely doubt Austinites are going to flock to Trump because of the "weird" thing. Austinites are the kind of weird that Republicans have been trying to suppress for decades, and they know it.

No, indefinitely implies you don't know when you'll be able to go back. It does not mean you're never going back.

But she's a woman! And not white! That makes her dangerous!

Yikes. Glad everyone is ok.

You're right, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. And in that spirit, I will treat these complaints exactly the way right wingers treat it when others point out that they're being offensive and gross.

In other words, I will mock you for being offended and suggest that you're trying to kill free speech any time you try to voice your point of view.

It's kind of common for white supremacists to lament the fall of Rhodesia. It was a thing among that set for a while.

Another common thing: comparing Biden's America to Weimar Germany.

So it's all over when he executes Flash, then?
