Yea, both extraordinarily accurate and depressing at the same time. Hamilton is certainly right that these boobs will destroy themselves eventually because none of them are competent at anything besides whining and trolling but they may pull us all into the muck with them.
I saw somewhere on Twitter or Bluesky or the like that we are being governed by "the worst people in high school" and I thought that was pretty perceptive but perhaps not quite aggressive enough (though I refrained from criticizing the writer on those grounds). The analogy here to the worst internet trolls and buffoons is much better and captures that extra oomph I wanted to see -- just wanted to offer my unqualified praise and support of this writing. No notes, nailed it!
People who reply to articles with their comments are genuinely the most deranged people in "discourse". It's both pathetic and vain. Incapable of committing to writing something of real substance themselves, and instead offering "two cents". What's that even worth, considering how bad inflation is?
Great words of wisdom in this piece Hamilton! We're in the middle of a fascist nightmare, but unfortunately it is for real! The big question is, how long will it take us to get above and beyond it so we can save our democracy?
Dead accurate and perfectly executed. And speaking of execution, l’m looking forward to events in the next year or so. Will it be Night of the Long Knives style or Removal of Old Bolsheviks With Show Trials style? Either way I hope there’s video.
A million likes! I can't tell you how much I love this post and how important it is. Thank you a zillion! 😘😘

I think it helps to be reminded of all this. It can be pretty disconcerting when it happens.
Nolan's posts are consistently excellent
Yes!
I keep saying that the worst part about all the fascism is how fucking stupid it is. This sums it up!
Does Vance's performative scowl make his face hurt?

Okay, honestly, I think it was a bit long... But great writing, and right on target! The question remains, however, what do we DO about it?
I saw what you did there.

I love this sooooo much! Thank you!
Can’t wait to see/hear you in Atlanta….
The last Time I attended this event was when Sara Nelson was the speaker! Both of you amazing and inspiring!
True, funny, and sad, all at once.
It was a sublime pleasure to read this.

Big Kash-Patel-In-Utah energy here
Unfortunately, the dumbass now control weapons of nuclear war.

Perfection:
"If you want to know how you could have done better, here is an essay I wrote instead—can you take a look?"
Does “Poe’s Law” have something to do with that bird who Twittered “Nevermore!”?
