2. In the wake of a mass shooting rooted in anti-Black racism, we're seeing a lot of "both sides do it" from people who pride themselves as independent non-partisan actors (Greenwald, Mounk, Sullivan), all dishonestly conflating banal sociology with conspiracy theories.

"Making observations" lol. How about cheering on demographic change to destroy the GOP? As you have done relentlessly.

I don't thing demographic change is going to destroy the GOP since the party will adapt and the meaning of whiteness will change (as it has in the past with Irish & Italians). I do think demographic change might make some forms of racism more marginal. Is that the problem?

...these people are pretty fond of posting that Michelle Goldberg headline screenshot. It is likelier to appear in a manifesto, if it has not already, than any Tucker segment.

"If we are more polite to murderously inclined fascists, they will be less likely to hurt us" has the rare distinction being both incredibly cowardly and completely false.
