If that's the question she wanted answered, then that's what she should have asked from the jump. The reporter's body language and phrasing was different when addressing Porter, making the question and intent unclear. Porter still said she's going for as many votes as possible.

She said she's working to make that not happen and still get as many votes as possible. Anyway, 60/40 is 60/40. With 2 Ds, the 40 and 60 likely split, but how? If, in theory, the other D aims at R votes, why assume enough R and D votes go to the other D? It was a bad question with too many "ifs."

Um. 60% is enough for anyone to win, regardless of who is in the other 40%. It's mathematical fact. No need to ask the question at all unless the point is to make her look bad. Porter didn't fall for it and said that she intends to win every vote she can.

The match set up is a pretty good metaphor for part of what we are seeing irl. Sure, a few more have genuinely joined the poor people's campaign, but most are like, "just wait, you uppity so & so, you'll get yours..."

I felt hope but then saw the clip. More like bitterness and vengeance, not class consciousness, unfortunately. The set up plays so well for a reason... too many CEOs look like "them" now, & how dare "they" make it in our system while "we" suffer... ”Don't you know we're still better than you?”

Arnn also compared the killer's humanity and ability to have life to CK's, saying CK will live on and the assassin will die one day. In context, it sounded like a minimization of Imago Dei and the power of God to save. What of Saul? What kind of gospel is this?

Wish you were right, but far too many normal, smart, church people I know see themselves as above MAGA. Yet, they drink up the barely altered, religious version of these ideas espoused by people like Molher and Wilson (both @ NatCon). They'll deny being racist, but they still agree on a deep level.

Conclusion - They're fascistic, racist, mediocre, petulant children, and they hate that LA, DC, & other blue cities prove their anti-woke rubbish wrong - so they lie and make up excuses to act out their racist revenge fantasy and take more control.

PPPS - Criminalizing/institutionalizing homeless people instead of working on root causes is usually a red flag for any free society. Again, we should learn from history. There are plenty of data points, like this one ...

PPS - Desensitizing people to violence by using extreme language is a standard abuser tactic. People will excuse a lot, but students of history (esp. church scandals) should know that any words in service of sin, have painful consequences, and ignorance isn't always bliss.

PS - The worst leaders weren't amazing evil geniuses (as we can tend to think). They often preyed on a combination of people's fears, base desires, & ignorance, while failing upwards. They were aided by people with a variety of motives, and used marketing/charisma to sell an impossible future.

Sometimes I want to ask if we're really this dumb, but God repeatedly says "yes" in the bible, and well, history also bears it out way more often than is flattering for humanity. 😔

4. It legit bugs Trump that DC doesn't have a fancy palace with a zone around it that is under tight control. He hates that DC is self-governing. He has repeatedly praised dictators because they have clean streets and no protests when he visits. 😮‍💨 🚩

3b. While at the same time, Trump and plenty of others won't disguise their love of violence, and lots of people actually like that (way too many are professing Christians who just want "the best" for our country). Who really believes all men are created equal? Bueller? 😒

3a. Many people in this admin genuinely enjoy violence. Some messaging will make sure to use language that points to ideas that one part of their base will hear as good things like authority, cleanliness, order, etc. to disguise their craving for violence, humiliation, control, etc.

2. They're testing the waters of how far they can push & what they can take from DC. Trump wants revenge on the people & govt of DC, & with his new cabinet & military leaders, he can at least try. Any push back or protests also provide more distraction and give pretext for more power grabs.
