".. George Orwell believed that political language mattered because politics mattered, and that the corruption of one leads to the corruption of the other. And in some cases, the misuse of words can lead to political violence. We saw that on January 6, 2021. My fear is we’re edging ever closer to that. Some people on the right—enraged and inflamed, caught in an echo chamber of undiluted anger and massive lies—clearly hope for it. They are perpetually frenzied and hyper-agitated, convinced they are in an existential struggle against a wicked foe.
"In the face of
this, virtually the entire Republican Party is egging them on. Based on
no evidence right now, Republicans are promoting a narrative that the
events of this week prove that the United States government and its
chief law-enforcement agency are Nazi-like, corrupt to the core, at war
with its own citizens. This can’t end well..." -- Peter Wehner in The Atlantic on the unhinged fury of the Republican/ Seditionist Party and the crackpots in their echo chamber at the search warrant conducted at the Malignant Loser's estate.

“You would think there would be an adult in the Republican room that would say, ‘Just calm down, see what the facts are, and let’s go for that,’ instead of, again, instigating assaults on law enforcement.” -- Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi yesterday to Capitol Hill reporters. Of course, she knows full well there are no such Republican adults, just spineless sycophants ready to dance to whatever tune the Malignant Loser plays.
