I missed the ANTIFA riots. I guess Evan and I don’t get our news from the same sources.

It’s amazing that this administration is so spectacularly bad that even its propaganda machine can’t hide it.

"I am pleased with the results on the border."

How are these people calling themselves Christians?

This is where unlucky asylum seekers have to stay between 2 days to more than half a year. People entering as legally.

You can't bring any items like a book inside and you can't leave except for food time in cafetaria like some prison with no yard-time. Just sit still and sleep until we process your papers in 4 months.

Ours had walls instead of cage thankfully but toilet was inside with no door. This was the conditions in 2018.

"Pleased" said the love-thy-neighbor Christian, "satisfied."

Can someone link me to the ANTIFA-riots? (I don't trust Evans words for it, I'm just not a "trust me, bro"-kind of guy..)

I find it horrific that people can say this ugly shit out loud "pleased with ICE"... how does "being happy" with dehumanizing other people make you happy ?

I need to throw up and have a long shower.

Not really trying to hide the racism anymore, are they?

I mean I've been paying attention to politics for the last 20-25 years now and I've known all along the Republican party had a racism problem, but the current boldness of it, almost flaunting of it, is still catching me by surprise.

Notice he said that they are "losing" him, not already lost.

Still fine enough with everything so far. I'm always wondering what it would take to actually turn people like this.

lol "the antisemitism crackdowns" risks losing him XD

"I'm beginning to think the guy is not gonna come back with the drugs we paid for. We gave him the right amount, didn't we? Maybe something happened to him, maybe the cops got him."

It’s almost as though state violence against people you have an abstract hatred of doesn’t actually help you in any way.

How do I get in on these Antifa riots?

The fuck's wrong with Chinese students?

These people are entirely motivated by hate. I knew that, but it's kinda wild to see them admit it like this.

STOP SAYING THERE'S NO EPSTEIN FILES.

ISIS in the White House

FFS.

Okay like of course this perspective is vile. I would never defend it. The people I refer to below are not the same people represented in this tweet.

But the right's justification for anti immigration makes sense to people. Its the oldest trick in the book! Artificial scarcity? Housing crisis? Employment crisis? Some of us have a rigorous class analysis that can neatly disprove these lies, part of why red scares are such a fundamental component of the right's culture war (a component many progressive liberals accept unquestioningly.)

But for the average person who doesnt think about stuff that way, the working/middle class swing voter who is simultaneously directly affected by economic and political oppression but deeply confused about the underlying causes, how do we convince them? The pendulum has flipped and Trumps policies are deeply unpopular, but what is the convincing explanation that the whole basis of their logic is flawed? How do we prove that immigrants aren't the problem?

Its like in avengers, thanos says he will kill half of all people in order to end scarcity in the universe. And none of the heroes even questions his logic. The attitude is like, he's a bad guy but it would still work. And, no it wouldn't, scarcity in advanced society is driven by class, not population. Malthus was thoroughly disproved like 150 years ago and yet this myth persists (like the myth of immigration and race-based scarcity).

Because as long as our political strategy amounts to "shame anyone who demonstrates an affective affinity with the right, and vote" we won't be able to resist the creeping threat of fascism. In 5-10 years it will be full on Nazi shit and I dont want to die in a concentration camp please and thank you

That right there is a wedge that can be opened. (Not be someone who comes across as being left-wing, who they'll likely reject out of hand, mind).

The seed of doubt has been sown, and now it remains to be asked just how kidnapping brown people (phrasing it that way won't work but I'm not currently trying to convince anyone...) benefits them, personally. It's an opportunity to examine the disconnect between things they feel are connected - "everything is shit and I don't have enough money" and "there's too many foreigners and brown people".

Imagine looking at the secret police rounding people up and sending them to camps and thinking "Yeah, more of that please." Absolutely fucking horrifying to see that people like that exist and aren't so deeply mired in shame for being the way that they are that they're comfortable expressing those opinions aloud.

Room temp IQs, both of them.

I'm actually shocked neither of them brought up queer people.

But yeah "I'm pleased with ICE", what a ghoul. Even if you support their goals, surely what they're doing can be viewed at as best a necessary evil. I certainly don't find the videos pleasant to watch at all.

Linda: “I was told that I’d get to be openly racist and rich! What the hell!”

I just love that fitness bro Evan and 55 year old Edna can hang out and converse over their shared hatred of brown people

What's "ISIS in White House" in reference to? I don't think there's even any Muslims in the Trump cabinet, are there? I'm sure he's made some sort of racist connection but it's so tenuous I can't even tell what it's supposed to be.

Exactly. They’ll give Maxwell a puppy in prison but mothers bleading out in ICE detention from miscarriages, then say racism doesn’t exist.

There was always going to be a point where "hurting other people" would finally take a backseat to "staying the fuck alive yourself". This appears to be this point. For some at least.

I hope both of these people die in a fire.
