Maybe... "Civil-Libertarian, Anti-Oligarchic Social Democrat with Constitutional Institutionalism?" It's complicated.

JONATHAN ROSS THREAD: 🧵 I think a certain # of women have seen the video from Ross’s cellphone showing the taunts that led to Renee’s murder.
And we feel in our bones that we’ve left immigration officer territory and entered domestic violence territory very quickly.

THREAD: I’ve long struggled to articulate my political position because it doesn't fit neatly into a single box or handy label. It’s a mix of pragmatic governance, civil liberty, and economic fairness. Here I'm gonna try and distill my thoughts from the 8 pages of brainstorming on the topic.

When Al Jazeera has to fact check American media, you know your nation is in decline, especially when checking a report that mistook “Armenia” for “America” on a chart. What a way to confirm that Americans have low literacy levels.

In the Bible I read, Jesus was pretty clear on the point that he was not an earthly king and that his followers shouldn't try to make him one.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Are liberals "avocado toast-eating crybaby snowflakes?"
Or are they "violent anti-capitalist murderers?"
Surely these are mutually exclusive...

Fascism: Populist political regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual, is associated with a central autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition.
