      What's amazing to me is that these guys have a persecution complex even when they win. I mean, Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court now but they think what happened to him was worse than the crucifixion.pic.twitter.com/fj1P9uYxRx

      This whole Catholic integralism debate makes me think that if the Democrats to win broadly in 2020 (say the presidency & Senate), the American right is going to go batshit crazy in a way that will make Trumpism seem like the essence of moderation & prudence.

          The whole resurgence of Catholic integralism is another example of how William F. Buckley's fabled taming of the hard right was a temporary & incomplete phenomenon, often more a papering over of harsh disputes rather than a resolution of them.

          Of course. The danger is that in 2 party system, increasingly crazy party will have power half the time.

          It's safe to assume these fuckers are going to go crazy whether they win or lose. Rage is a drug. I'm a casual user myself. These people are hardcore addicts.

          I’m willing to take that risk. It’s the only way we’re going to save the country and humanity but yes, there will be casualties as heavily armed RWNJ take their revenge.

          It's never been more clear that progressives need an armed deterrent force of our own if we get the chance to save this country.
