Texas Man Killed Prominent Lawyer Because She Voted for Joe Biden: Police

[Sympthsical]

25. That's true if that's all you're on the look out for

There really is a need to diversify reading beyond social media bubbles and Twitter. We have plenty of our own lunatics. But who would post about them here? It would get hidden right away. So, places like this just get the steady diet of right-wing crazy.

I just watched a woman on Twitter say that finding a newborn infant in a shallow grave in the woods isn't the business of the police, because that would impugn on the sacrosanct nature of a woman's pregnancy choices. It was . . . interesting. And yes, she did work in a Texas context. Her name is Andrea Grimes on Twitter, if you're curious. Just so the inevitable alert knows I'm not making it up.

Who would post that here as an OP? No one. Is it getting thrown around all over the place on the Right? You betcha. And like us, they get a steady diet of our crazy. There's a Twitter feed - won't post it here - that highlights our crazies. I admit, I watch it (I watch everything from all sides). The people on it are nucking futs. Sometimes it's hilarious how crazy they are. Sometimes it's seriously yikes disturbing.

I know, as a gay man, I'm watching a really, really bizarre civil war going on in the LGBT community with some of the T's going to absolute town on the L's (with the G's just kind of in there somewhere).

Doesn't get posted here. Doesn't get mentioned. No one is even remotely interested in talking about it, because it would work against all kinds of narratives. I don't post about it, because I know it'd get hidden.

Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" is always relevant. If you're only seeing specific shapes cast by a certain slanted prism, you're going to think that's reality. It's not.

The guy in this OP is seriously mentally ill. People like that are everywhere. We have our own, too. It's pointless to try to rest political statements on it outside of purely partisan purposes.
