56. "more enraged about the leak than the horrifying contents of the messages themselves"
Sat Oct 18, 2025, 11:46 PM
Oct 18

They are never upset about Republicans who commit crimes -- only Republicans who get caught.

It is a corollary to the Republican belief that you've done nothing wrong if you don't get caught.

And when it comes to hate speech, from their POV, what's to be upset about?

Like the man who shot Charlie Kirk, these "kids" (20 to 30 yo men) who live online are so messed up in layers of irony and "jokes" that they no longer have a clue what they hell they actually think about anything.
