Amazing how many people over the last few years have moved from person I sometimes disagree with, to person I disagree with who is also unpleasant online, to genuinely bad person whose soul has warped beyond recognition. the politics of our times are like a solvent for decency.

People are always telling me the tech guys need to take humanities classes like Peter Thiel didn’t study philosophy. Perrhaps the folks advocating this line of bullshit are maybe just sort of doing the same “the solution to the problem is that I should be paid” as everybody else. The issue is power!

The problem with articles like this is that they refuse to follow their argument to its logical conclusion: In the absence of a Republican Party that is willing to compromise (or even engage with reality), the only way the Dems can close the division is give up and let the GOP win.

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division." Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

Gotta give it to Chip for being one of ~3 Republican politicians who correctly refer to the "Democratic Party" instead of the childish epithet "Democrat Party". I wish we could resurrect zombie Thomas Jefferson to listen to this dumb idiot and then dish out a litany of 18th century insults at him.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."
