A politics defined by hatred of political opponents is a politics ripe for hateful illiberalism.

The new scholarship on comparative polarization is crucial in understanding this dynamic. In one sense, it offers a very depressing view: Given the current binary structure of American party politics, this conflict is mostly locked in. No level of social media regulation or media literacy or exhortation to civility is going to make much of a difference. But it also offers a kind of master key: If the structure of a party system is as crucial as these studies suggest it is, then the solution is obvious: The U.S. may want to change its voting system to become more proportional.

Whenever I am trying to decide whether or not a particular movement, policy or person benefits Black America, I wait and see what white people think. While that might sound racist, there has never been a movement, policy or person that benefitted Black America who was simultaneously embraced by white America. In this country, a stance against the trauma-inducing brickbat of whiteness is perceived as a stance against America. And anyone who disagrees can feel free to prove me wrong. Name one person who fought for Black liberation who white people agreed with.

Don’t worry; I’ll wait.

But while I’m waiting, I came up with a list of Black movements, people and ideas who were called anti-white, communist, Marxist or Un-American simply for wanting Black people to exist.

At that point, if the cops had the munitions to do it, they should have tear gassed the entire plaza. Even bears like that douche would run for cover.

they were so outnumbered that day i think they were all worried about escalating violence/retaliations. in hindsight they should've given the berkeley student treatment.. but they needed like a thousand more officers and national guard troops to control the situation in any real way.

It could have turned into this again, which I'm sure the police wanted to avoid publicity-wise, but it would have distracted a significant portion of the crowd away from the Capitol doors, allow the police to thin the crowds, and if the Oathkeepers kept on, the police could have focused on them, if they continued their approach. But when you are ordered to retreat or hold a line, you do it.

I agree. Canned tuna is tragic and offensive on like 4+ different levels and this is the most important one.
