Whatever man. I know what I see on the news and read in the papers. As much as my kids want to go into the city to see the Christmas tree at Rockefeller center this year, there's no way in hell we are going. I would not feel safe and I would not take the subway, for fear of someone coming behind me and pushing me onto the tracks of an oncoming train. Which is happening with alarming regularity.

So let's see . . . there are 20 million NYC subway trips taken each week (https://new.mta.info/coronavirus/ridership) . . . 25 people pushed onto tracks thus far in 2022 (https://nypost.com/2022/10/27/nyc-subway-shoves-exceed-number-of-incidents-compared-to-last-year -- this says 22 but another article says 25 so let's be conservative) . . . carry the 3 . . . that's a 0.0000003% chance of being pushed onto the tracks.

Better chance of you being electrocuted while you type a post, so I'd log out were I you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... but alternative facts clearly demonstrate that crime is out of control! Why just the other day I read somewhere about some poor guy who was pushed off the edge of the earth into outer space!

Two takes:
1) Grassley's iron curtain reference is poignant irony; the Republicans greatly admire ruthless, dictatorial regimes.
2) 2-to-1 that Grassley is part owner of a wall-building firm! LOL.

Does . . . does he know “Iron Curtain” is a metaphor?

Wait. Does he know what a metaphor is?

Ok that’s fine. Just don’t act confused when democrats get battered. Maybe a difference of opinion (although it ruins the echo chamber everyone seems to enjoy) might be helpful.

"Difference of opinion"? What opinion do you have? You have memes.

You haven't ever once expressed yourself thoughtfully. Why is that?

Is it because since you can't lever brains, you lever emotions?

I've already explained, in great detail over many years, exactly why MAGAs have evolved the way they have. They're demographically- and ideologically-cornered rats, and they're cowards.

Each one is angry that the world has passed them by. Each is indignant that they never got their rightful piece of what they thought they were owed. Each is intellectually -- and due to the points mentioned, now morally -- challenged, if not bankrupt.

Every MAGA "win" is only postponing a future inevitable loss. Because your movement is dying, as authoritarian movements based on ideological and moral bankruptcy inevitably always do. And because demogrpahics is destiny.
