Bozell's son is the pro-Apartheid nominee to be ambassador to South Africa & his grandson defaced the Capitol on January 6th in case anyone wants to think that what's happening in the Republican Party now is novel or a recent development
In 1961, the National Review, that bastion of "reasonable conservatism" published a pamphlet by L. Brent Bozell (WFBuckley's bro-in-law) making the menacing argument that Chief Justice Earl Warren deserved a punishment greater than censure or impeachment because he'd "made war against public order."

There was a liberal court for a few years in the mid 20th century and the right wing response was to delegitimize for DECADES right up to the point they had a supermajority, at which point it became Wrong to do so. These people think you are stupid bsky.app/profile/chri...

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
