Lindsey Graham’s Christofascist, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, and (yes!) homophobic legacy is a perfectly appropriate subject of conversation at all times, including upon the occasion of his passing. If you cannot agree with this, you need to reflect on what it means to be part of the problem.

Graham Platner embodies a concept that in 2016 we didn’t have words for so “Bernie Bro” made the most sense. It had nothing to do with Bernie but was an attempt to describe a man who outwardly espouses progressive values but hates women more than he cares about anything else.

This is the thing: if your job is political commentary and you made it past the tattoo (to say nothing of everything else), our country may desperately depend on you internalizing this “I told you so”; it is not in bad faith to hold commentators to a standard

if you didn’t dump his ass over the nazi tattoo congratulations you are dumber than a high school junior at a hardcore show. a child with moshpit CTE is dogwalking you morally

Indefinite moratorium on takes from people who didn’t draw the line at racism, homophobia, Blackwater, Abu Ghraib, and the Nazi tattoo, among other things, all of which we knew about from jump (thanks in large part to the laundering gleefully undertaken by @podsaveamerica.crooked.com for free)
