  • Aside from revenge against Walz… one theory is that we’re a functioning community that’s ethnically diverse, relatively progressive, union strong, and very friendly to queer folks. Fox News would have you believe that any one of those features creates a godless hellscape, but we’re doing pretty good. Minnesota grew a huge budget surplus under Walz, and then we invested it in schools and social programs. The Republican tradition is to destroy something (see: the federal government) and say, “See? Told you it was broken!”
















  • Also not the person you replied to, but your comment is exactly the language they’re cautioning against. If I saw your comment attributed to a far-right nationalist, I wouldn’t be surprised.

    Personally I think using dehumanizing language to describe fascists is letting them off the hook. I might want to believe we don’t share any DNA, but they’re humans who arrived at a certain worldview the same way I did. It’s just that their worldview is violent and disgusting.
