This has been the plan all along.
- Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN
- Implement the Insurrection Act
- Declare Martial Law
- Suspend elections

Lovely work
Can’t believe he was the first person to think of doing that, seems so obvious in retrospect

Another way to say this is that game theory only really works if both parties inhabit the same reality, and there’s a good argument to be made that the GOP has entirely departed shared reality for the world of r/pol.
They’re not above reproach! But the Content War is asymmetrical.

To expand: of the main browsers, Safari on Mac is the most native, has the best battery performance, and is the least infected with anti-user nonsense.
If you're on a Mac, you're nuts to use anything other than Safari.

If your concern is the rule of law, you should support amnesty for illegal immigrants, so as to avoid the creation of a permanent underclass that is alienated from the protections of law
Also no one ACTUALLY cares about immigration enforcement for general rule-of-law reasons. If your interest is in the rule of law, you wouldn't come up with immigration as an area of concern in a hundred years

I would go further and say that they need to be delivered to the ICC.
The only legitimate response, by a future Democratic admin, to an attack on a NATO ally by this criminal gang is to prosecute, as a war criminal, every single person involved from the lowest private to the commander in chief.

This is perhaps my least Red Tory belief, but I am serious. No liberation without women's liberation, and that INCLUDES pregnancy.
I am completely serious we absolutely should be funding a moonshot to build artificial wombs
