I always recommend listening to Republicans. For literalists the messages are weirdly encoded but they're there. Trump's 'witch hunt' was as much a thing as Clarence's 'high tech lynching' which didn't occur. But Clarence was a lyncher and the Trump crowd are puritans going after 'woke' and 'cancel culture' as though these exist, just like witchcraft. They imagine them.
But they're real. In their minds. They're more real for having the advantage of being imagined, and so not subjected to reality checks. Musk and Ramaswamy are already, a couple of months away from installation, fantasizing about witches they will burn in a carnival of sadism -- innocent government employees. Musk now by name. He's naming them on Xitter.
If this isn't a sue-able offense it should be. No wonder they are against legal recourse for injuries. Injurers would be -- as power-crazed sadists and egomaniacal monstrosities. But they're almost ensconced and will need to be dealt with. After some carnage, I fear, but it would be nice to keep it under half-a-million, to use Trump's toll as the new benchmark of accountability.
What's a few hundred thousand lives among friends, after all.
