Dear news media,
Stop using the phrase “moderate Republicans.” That’s like saying “vegan cannibals.” There are none.
Thank you,
Mark
@markjacob Well, those who don't want their children shot down in school, or want health care for all, or want the rich to pay taxes are called the far left. So I guess being a fascist qualifies for being a moderate these days.
@markjacob
We are gased every day by this BS media, which is sponsored by the corporate players.
@markjacob yea but last summer there was a feral vegan cannibal raiding my garden at night. Totally blasted my tomatoes and peas before the floodlights sent them scampering away.
@markjacob Ah, so true, there are almost none, maybe a few of them that worked with the January 6th committee.
@markjacob "Moderate Conservative" is an oxymoron. Conservatives are just morons.
@markjacob 10 years ago I'd probably have disagreed. Now though, I fear you're right...

@markjacob

imho, the use of blanket characterizations for entire segments of humanity - whether these are made on the basis of ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, religion, or politics - is a net negative for humanity.

Unless those who differ from us are allowed to have nuance we dehumanize them, making them into straw men we can hate without guilt and whose opinion we can dismiss without consideration.

@markjacob I went on a journey the first time read your post but agree with the general thesis. 😆
@markjacob As an Independent voter I'm pretty freaking annoyed withe the #Republican party these last few cycles. They've very effectively removed their entire ilk from consideration and I feel cheated of my #Democracy .
@markjacob Or logical toddlers, or hostile puppies.
