Never use "both sides" unironically. Those are 2 very triggering words.

And for this one, specifically, might be an element of Tressie's "blonde" discourse, as well.

Was looking at newspaper page from 1935 Baltimore Sun (I think?). Right beside the write-up of a bus crash/train wreck was an article abt Hitler & Chamberlain saying, no it all looks ok, don't worry.... Yelling in my head, gaaah! nooo! Staaahp!

Can the Q be asked in a "When did you stop beating your wife" style? like "When did your party decide that non-white people folks should be treated like this?Why do you think your party is so willing to engage in this type of behavior? What is it about Repub voters that make them so open to this?"

Paragraph abt them being mad at not being able to set cultural agenda reinforces my belief: Conservatives want all the freedom so you can't tell them what to do. And want all the freedom so they can tell YOU what to do.

Oh, they know a better future, but that's not their job. Their constituency is business. Regulate guns, you harm the profits of a major constituent. Best explanation I know for Repub behavior: They just don't work for you (the people.) Every policy they have is explained by that 1 sentence.

Also, Nicholas Cage in Peggy Sue Got Married. Look it up.

And is a great vehicle for the message that Dobbs isn't their only terrible idea. Trickle down, support of big business over people...put them into practice, they all kind of suck.

The Day One question, goddamn. So lazy.

And the headlines in the evening of Day 1: Pres Harris promised to do XYZ. She failed.
