The US media reaction to this has been really interesting. NBC censored the booing on their broadcast. Now the WSJ is trying to expand the booing to the entire US delegation, who were actually cheered. Only old pumpkin head over here got booed
In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000. on.wsj.com/3ZUmCq1

If there's one benefit from all the Republican criminality and corruption it's that you never have to treat them like good faith interlocutors again. Every currently living Trump accomplice should be treated at most to a reflexive "Eat Shit" for life, and that's better than they deserve

can keep a whole lot of bigotry and other bad shit in the mix under constant Discussion if you're just willing to play the role of Complete Moron.
which is complicated by those who are genuinely complete morons. ezra klein, for example, switches between 'bad faith' and 'genuinely this dumb'.

i've found over the years that the adaptation to this many have adopted is essentially "you can't prove i'm being disingenuous, what if i'm actually this stupid". being willing to debase your own intelligence as a rhetorical shield

IMO this is something of a complex issue, as are the reasons why we should extend good faith judiciously, but the actual practical story of who we should extend it to and who we should withhold it from is pretty straightforward

gotta agree with this. at some point we all have to contend with what good faith is actually for and extend it accordingly
A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

The liberal version of "America First" is when they selfishly argue that everyone should have voted for Kamala Harris, despite her material support for genocide, because the lives of people in the US need to be prioritized over stopping the war crimes we're committing around the world.

Primary elections are when you're right to be picky and have a candidate "earn" your vote by their policies, history, stances.
General elections are for voting to keep the barbarians out.
Don't believe that, think of 2016 and 2024.
Kick the barbarians out!

Trump referring to the first Black President and First Lady in the history of the USA as apes is not a distraction. It is a major news story once again emphasizing how fundamental racism is to this administration and the Republican Party and conservative movement.
