What does an authoritarian government do when it is so diminished in legitimacy that it simply no longer has a realistic path to consolidated autocracy? This is where the gravest danger lies: Fueled by a sense of having burned all bridges behind them, extremists like Miller will seek to escalate.

democrats have spent my entire life letting republicans off the hook for the openly illegal stuff the previous administration did in the name of norms. that anger you're feeling now needs to make you realize how much of what's happening now is a result of those consistent failures

While I'm on the subject of weird Twitter memes of the last few weeks, it's entirely unsurprising that Nick Fuentes fans like Anakin Skywalker. They're both the same flavor of skinny whiny dork.

A friend of mine moved from here (Utah) to Washington in part because, as a trans person, they felt safer there. That's what makes me, in the midst of a lot of good news last night, sad for him. Amongst all the good news, Washington still voted to make shit worse. There's still so much work to do.
