I will add, I don't think you read it. That is not what it is about at all.
You're the caller.

Is that your final answer? I find your projecting by accusing them of projecting comical. You can find examples of bad behavior in all camps if you look hard enough. But the author is pointing out something that is everywhere in plain sight. Why do you think Cynthia Johnson is in the pickle she's in?

And how about that constant drumbeat of impeachment and the Russiagate fiasco? And the riots. And the looting. and the etc., etc., etc.?

That's actually the point of the article. It's being taken to the next level and has been going through levels for a while now. And history tells us where it's headed. Remember, Nazi's didn't start their power grab by gassing jews. That came a decade later. First they had to dehumanize them.

I love JOJO Rabbit. Great movie, BTW.

The most important warning to the right in the article is to conservatives that we don't play the dehumanizing card against the left. This is one reason I cut the left so much slack. They are mostly just kids that will grow out of it. However, when kids become dangerous, well, adults can become dangerous to the kids. But in a land of law and order neither will happen to any significant degree.

No it's not my final answer, I've got plenty more. Here is some:

That's a TV news spot detailing the outpouring of racist GOP hate dumped on Rep. Cynthia Collins. Her 'tread lightly' response, that you are trying to make so much of, is pleasant and polite compared to the racist abuse bei g thrown at her. Your team should be begging forgiveness on your knees for these despicable attacks by your people. That the GOP house majority instead level over-the-top sanctions on her is an outrageous display of blaming the victim.

The lynch mob doesn't like it when someone stands up to them? Cry me a river

Imploding MAGA World Turns to Civil War Fantasies, Secession After Supreme Court Disaster
TRIGGERED
In an epic dummy spit, vloggers Diamond & Silk called for military intervention and internet troll Milo Yiannopoulos said the only options left were war or secession.

Are they all as idiotic as this Insane clown!?

You sure have a big problem with the "insane clown". The extent you go to, to attack him, makes it seem like he is a legitimate threat to you.

If anyone thinks this Republican unrest will all settle down after Monday hasn't been paying attention. All driven by a little man in the biggest reality show of his life.
