They studied the TERF Twitter users in the UK. IIRC, 70 or 80% were bots which amplified the original work of a handful of real users. The social media information environment is just hopelessly polluted, and any divisive or right-wing perspective which seems widespread in social media is suspect.

Point at the guardrails! Talk about comity and tradition!

They won't need to oust Trump. He's a doddering old fool that they'll easiliy manage around in those very few cases where his personal venality and lust for vengeance doesn't align with their plans for the New Reformed American Republic.

Also, San Francisco homosexuals.

It's sort of like why all of the low-level Republican Jan 6 / election fraudsters are surprised when they're convicted. "Criminal" is a permanent, racialized, genetically identifiable class of people, not a behavioral description.

The rotting ambulatory corpse of the Confederacy has long been hiding behind the Republican "cultural conservative" mask. You could always smell the stench, but now they've ripped the mask off and you can see the maggots writhing in its hateful face.

Technically, y'all *didn't* do your bit.

It's a catamaranatee!
