I mean, I think the secret to this overreach is that they thought they had gotten a popular mandate to go full fascist.

Got it.

I have a lot of different kinds of feelings about the choices that American voters made in the last election.

I know that people will say it was largely a result of inflation when you look at global political trends.

But guys, do you understand now why voting on that was a bad idea?

In any case, you know, I think what these two killings have demonstrated is that the rest of the country, you know, whatever you think of that choice, and I really find it baffling, they don't want to see people gunned down in the streets.

And there are a lot of people on the extremely online MAGA right who are saying things like, you have two months and we're going to come get you.

You know, like this sort of, I think sometimes the kids call it Seppi Roth posting after the main antagonist of Final Fantasy VII.

I mean, like this sort of like weird supervillain shit, you know, I think most of the country actually doesn't like it.

You know, the thing about the Internet is that these people who are like weird and depraved have all been able to find each other and make a very loud cacophony of voices, making it seem like these attitudes are normal.

And, you know, some of the richest men in the world are among them.

And encourage these voices to express themselves.

But I think, you know, the response to the killing of good and especially of pretty suggests that actually the rest of the country like doesn't want to like do Holocaust too.

And they're not with you on that.

I think you have a perfectly reasonable point about the choice that Americans made in the last election.

I think it was the wrong choice.

I do not think most of the country feels the way that Stephen Miller feels.

There's a large and loud minority of people who feel that way.

But I think his level of bloodthirst is actually relatively unique.

and strange.
