Democrat: My opponent is friends with and had pardoned multiple pedophiles, is openly taking bribes, and has passed laws that make billionaires richer and everyone else poorer. Republican: This is guy is SO GAY. If he was any gayer, he'd be a GIRL. Washington Post: Personal attacks were traded.

The weird thing about this is that 1939 Europe beat, uh, {checks notes} 1939 Europe.

A thing conservatives used to understand is that “virtue signalling” is in fact an essential social function. It CAN be frivolous & self-indulgent, but you do actually need people to conspicuously perform adherence to good social norms.

Also, kinda think that in times like this, signalling "virtue" should, in fact, be seen as a good thing, as opposed to those who are proactively signalling corruption, bigotry, hatred, and nihilism.
Criticism of continued journalistic use of Twitter gets dismissed as "virtue signaling," but I really don't think it's a huge ask for folks employed in the factual information business to lead by example and maintain some fleeting semblance of integrity and ethical self awareness in the authoritarian era.

In some places elites were markedly less homophobic than the public and helped drive a shift in public opinion. Support for decriminalization was 18% in the UK in 1957, when the extremely establishment Wolfenden report made it a public debate: by the time the law passed in 1967 it was 63%

Ok it is obvious that people fake engagement with bots, and that this is often done for political reasons, but the reality is that there are tens of millions of republicans in america, the number of people who would vote for Trump is even larger, and as elections show, these people really exist

GOP Rep. Tom Kean disappeared for 4 months & missed dozens of votes then finally surfaced, read a 5 minute speech saying he was at a mental health facility, refused to take questions from the press, and MAGA supports his reelection. But the Talarico hoax is career ending.

This is a very strong piece about the media double standard. I'll add, though, that there seems to be very little interest on the left lately in the object-level coverage and criticism of the GOP's ties to extremists that would signal to reporters that it should be a major story.

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.

MAGA 1 was crazy! To secure any meaningful position in Republican politics required pretending that Donald Trump was an ethical person who never sexually assaulted anyone or did anything racist, that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, and that the Jan. 6 insurrection was righteous.

Elite universities, particularly American ones, are a vacuum which pull in the brightest and most ambitious young talent from around the world to their host countries. It is, without exaggeration, the greatest long-term advantage America has. And they decided to turn that system off because racism.

I feel like most people in this country have no idea the depth of evil of this administration. They are out make their enemies suffer. That's it. There is nothing they won't do. I'm furious at them, but maybe more at the both siders and people shrugging it off.

Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

The Trump admin had a real theory of war: Put on a show of toughness, tell people how manly you are, disdain law, do war crimes, and you win. Earlier losses came from leaders too "weak" to do that. It was a very stupid theory. But they espoused it a lot, really seem to believe it, and acted on it.

People puts this on Trump or "the administration", but talk to Republican voters. At the very least, they think this is understandable, if not the right course of action. It's the ideology that binds them: a hatred of others and the belief that those others should suffer.

The death of credible government is darkly hilarious in a cosmic sort of way. Obviously, the FDA is useless now. Therefore, we must place our trust in more credible institutions, such as Taco Bell, which has been far more transparent and proactive in handling this parasite business.

This right here. I am economically WAY far to the right of the standard Democratic Party establishment centrist but because I actually mean my liberal views, in 2026 and 2028 I will support an anti-Trumpism fighter even if they’re a socialist. Of course I’d be happier with centrist fighters.
