Actually, drastic measures are required when your political opponents consistently try to murder your President.
I can’t believe this has to be explained.
You cannot continue as normal when one side is murdering or trying to murder the other side.
And the response from the people who spent two years calling the President a fascist, a dictator, a Nazi, a king?
“Well, you have to understand why people are upset.”
No. I don’t.
The Left told the country it was 1933.
They told them voting wasn’t enough. They told them the man in the Oval Office was Hitler.
Some of them believed the Left.
Some of them acted on it.
And now you want to lecture us about civic friendship?
Civic friendship ended the moment one side decided the other side wasn’t human.
That line got crossed a long time ago and it wasn’t crossed by us.
One side has suspended the rules to the soccer game, taken up arms and is killing and trying to kill the best players in the other team.
We are not going to pretend nothing happened and continue playing soccer and get killed for it.
You prosecute the people inciting it.
You defund the NGOs laundering it.
You investigate the networks moving the money.
You make it expensive, professionally and legally, to call your neighbors Nazis on television.
That isn’t the end of democracy.
That’s how you save it.
You want civic friendship back?
Tell the Left to stop killing and trying to kill people the disagree with.
Until then, shut up.

@McCormickProf No, the other side murders millions of babies a year. They want to troon your kids and import the third world. It is flight 93.

I'll probably get clobbered for this, but here goes: Please, can everyone, right or left, MAGA or anti-MAGA, Republican or Democrat, stop catastrophizing and trying to get everyone on your side worked up into a rage? It's not Flight 93. We're not on the verge of fascism. We do not need to take desperate measures. Our fellow citizens with whom we disagree are not devils incarnate or personifications of evil. We need to argue with our political adversaries--passionately perhaps--but with respect for their humanity and dignity. We don't need to destroy them. That mustn't be our aim. We all say we believe in democracy. Good! But democracy is all about persuading, giving reasons, engaging one another as fellow citizens, despite our disagreements. Let's rebuild civic friendship. We can do this. (Thank you for your attention to this matter.)

I’m just an unfrozen caveman so this world confuses me. But how does it make sense that the 3 liberal justices eagerly upheld the much more egregious 48-4 California maps but dissented to upholding the Texas map?

NEW: The Supreme Court has summarily reversed the 3-judge trial court's decision striking down Texas' mid-decade congressional map (the court had previously stayed the decision). The three liberal justices dissent. #txlege

@IzaBooboo @USSpaceLawyer I’ll say stuff like “Trump’s approach to Powell is that of a mobster.”
But if I then say, “hey, maybe calling a guy a fascist child rapist 24/7 is related to all these assassination attempts,” I’ll get called a shill from ppl mad that I’ve pointed out their side’s indecency.

America will not be lectured about civility by far right extremists in Congress.
Particularly those who provide aid and comfort to hundreds of violent rioters who brutally beat police officers on January 6.
There will be ample time to vigorously debate the issues of the day.
Now is a time to unify.
