I find it interesting that these posts are dated 2019. I don't remember this being an issue pre-covid.

"Abe, Abe. Kill your son.Just kill him man. Do it! Your God demands it, pussy! Do it!"

"Oh myself! You were actually going to do it! Don't be crazy I was joking!"

I just read The Tea Party - A Brief History by Ronald Formisano. It’s a fascinating read. He talks about the start of the Tea Party movement and how it grew to a political powerhouse by 2012.

It was written contemporaneously with the movement and before MAGA. He walks through how it started as a real grassroots movements that was co-opted and astroturfed by Billionaires. Reading it with a modern perspective, it’s almost quaint. Formisano (and may others) talk about how the movement is so unique because it doesn’t have any de facto leader.

It was primed and ready for the taking in 2016.

The far right has been emboldened. You're seeing people start to say the quiet part out loud, and they're shocked when they find their peers don't agree. I've seen it personally and know many others who can say the same. It's scary stuff.

Pineapples dissolve your mouth. Anything with capsaicin is non verbally asking you not to eat it.
