From Bay-Waveland, MS, to Gainesville, FL, lived south of I-10 except for college (USM) my whole life. Tampa Bay Rays, New Orleans Saints, Florida Gators. Books, movies, TV, Pixies (family tree), Bob. Committed pluralist. You should be, too.
One thing that is becoming readily apparent in the Nick Fuentes dust-up is how many conservatives, who once considered themselves the defenders of the Constitution, are now abandoning it in favor of the Bible as the central text for organizing society. Because the Constitution can be changed.

Fascism 101: How To Use Bureacracy to Help Erase a Minority. Have an agency "ensure compliance with uniform traffic control devices" by rooting out "non-standard surface markings" by threatening to cut off critical infrastructure funds for a community.

If you’re cool with Trump pardoning J6 insurrectionists, ignoring due process, gutting research, cutting healthcare for the poor while enriching the already rich, you can shove your “Happy Fourth of July” posts right up your ass, you fake American.

Is it because his book flopped, liberals called him out for its existence in the time of Trump, or he sees a President as the will of the American people and the people can never be wrong? Whatever the case, Tapper is a pretty good example of media’s acquiescence to authoritarianism and erasure.

I feel like I am Carl Hiaasen’s target audience, left-leaning, college educated, cis white male Floridian. So of course I thoroughly enjoyed his latest novel, FEVER BEACH, which lampoons the Sunshine State’s right wing culture brilliantly. #booksky
