      Why do many Republicans cling to the insurrectionists, and to Trump? Because right-wing media continually pumps Republicans full of fear, and the Trumpists claim that they're the only possible protector.https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/insurrection-thoughts-113 …

      They are creating the conceptual frame of "the Republican Party as terrorist organization." They laid the groundwork for the past five years, repeating the keywords billions of times; now they are mobilizing for suppression. Don't confuse language-dominance with the truth.

      Lol, the connection between me and "clinging to insurrectionists and to Trump" is approximately zero. My concern is that this terrible incident (and the rhetorical frame being created around it) will be used to justify universal restrictions on speech and other rights.

      Replying to @Noahpinion

      I did. I'm not a "Trumpist" and don't think conservatives should "[cling] to insurrection for the illusion of safety." Like Cotton, McConnell, etc., I condemned the riots on moral grounds and think it is a disaster for conservatives on political grounds.

      Replying to @realchrisrufo @Noahpinion

      My point, which you avoid, is that the institutional alliance of media, tech, and woke ideologues is a threat to conservatives. This is obviously true and, as the Parler story demonstrates, not simply about "disrupting insurrection."

      Chris, I know fear sells, and partisanship sells. But now is a time when it is incumbent on all of us NOT to do what sells, but to do what is right. Let's make sure the insurrection is over before we do anything else.

      We're talking past each other at this point. I don't think you're characterizing my beliefs or motives accurately. Will mute this thread, but happy to engage again next time around.
