social contract utterly disintegrated

The hopium psychology behind the article: “see, some are leaving out of conscience! Even these sadistic brutes aren’t on board to help conduct a holocaust on American soil!”

Reality: the most brutal and psychopathic brownshirts are self-selecting and they’re actively pushing out anybody who would hamper their cruelty. They have the budget and the numbers to sustain much higher attrition levels

I have heard the same old thing so many times-- to have a friend, be a friend. Reach out. Listen, be empathetic, blah blah blah.

It goes beyond trashy. He’s riling up his base with a show of violence and normalizing bloodsport. This is an intentional shift in social norms. His base laps it up-- government that’s fun like a wrestling match???-- and it takes the place in our public life that we had reserved for sober discussion of our nation’s wellbeing and handing it over to gleeful violence.

It’s not “UFC bad,” this is “drinking whiskey for breakfast,” the context matters. They are exterminating their enemies and it’s going to get worse.
