I've realized that this quote from Dorothy Thompson's 1941 Harper's Magazine essay "Who Goes Nazi?" is best read as if Christopher Walken was doing it as a line reading

So, correct me if I’m wrong here, the conclusion I’m drawing, based on the discourse around “Digger”, is that it is not so much a film but enduring it is a whole new unlocked kink or fetish of some sort

I mean sure, but fascists always usually are. They are stunning examples of actually how much damage you can do when you run mostly on vibes and the boisterous support of the guys with all the money.

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

…I've said it so many fucking times, now, but I'll say it again, that it's really fucking messed up that all of these conversations seek to apply to fucking LLMs a standard of personhood we still don't consistently and meaningfully apply to other fucking humans.

It matters that she's a member of Congress. This is an extreme escalation. He is attacking a member of the one body with the constitutional power to hold him accountable and check his crimes. And he's doing so trying to gin up a fake basis to strip her of her eligibility to be in Congress.

Additionally, it's an attempt to usurp the power to judge the qualifications of members of the House, which the Constitution vests solely in the House itself. And there's no reason to assume she will be the last member of Congress he goes after like this. It's a direct attack on the legislature.
