Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

It was also old footage of literally a block or two where all that was happening, 99.9999% of the city in 2020 was as normal and peaceful as it was today when I went out for coffee, despite half the country being convinced by FOX that the whole city was burned to the ground back then.

Fascinating moment in the power of DC Think. Democrats are clearly *not* looking for an off ramp right now. They’re actually saying this. Which is a measure of how badly it’s going for the GOP. It’s the GOP that is actually looking for the offeamp.

On top of his basic illiteracy/innumeracy, it’s the same logic that leads him to think if a little gold is good, then slathering every square inch with gold is better!

“Reducing by 50% is good? Okay well I’ll reduce it 500%!”

Uh sir, it’s not poss…

“1000%! Like you’ve never seen!”

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.
