@emptywheel

Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    "Gunsplaining, though, is always done in bad faith. Like mansplaining, it’s less about adding to the discourse than smothering it — with self-appointed authority, and often the thinnest of connection to any real fact."https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/03/06/the-nra-and-its-allies-use-jargon-to-bully-gun-control-supporters/ …

        "admonished that your inferior knowledge of guns and their nomenclature puts an asterisk next to your opinion on gun control." It's almost like you need to make an effort to understand a topic to have a credible opinion, gasp!

        I'm not sure. Imagine reading someone's climate change policy proposal in which they get basic climate science facts or terminology wrong. Not esoteric stuff but basic facts. You would probably call that person a fool and discount their opinions completely, no?

        AND many gunsplainers say wildly inaccurate things about guns,condescendingly asserting them over accurate & carefully expressed arguments

        1A rights. Liberals want to shame people into not speaking. Will not happen. You don’t like what I say ( or tweet) exercise your 1A rights and don’t listen.

        @empty wheel have you ever thought about changing to EMPTYwheel or just EMPTY which might be a better descript
