It has been telling to hear Republicans complain about Jordan and his henchmen using the same narcissistic abuse tactics on them that the gop as a whole uses on Democrats and the public.
This is the essence of modern "conservatives." A problem doesn't matter to these creeps until it affects them personally. It's a morally and spiritually bereft way of being.
Exactly!!! I was thinking the same thing. Where were your voices when the same types of threats were happening to others considered "the enemy"? Hypocrites every one of them!
To redeem themselves: a full on apology for their complicit behavior and joining Democrats in voting in Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House in order to preserve The Common Good.
Spot on, Dean, especially your last line from that famous poem. Colorado Public Radio has reported that Ken Buck has received several death threats and he is being kicked out of his CO office by his MAGA landlord. I have no alignment with Ken Buck’s extremely conservative policies, and he should’ve been more vocal in condemning the other violence that preceded these internal Republican conflicts, but no one deserves this. Buck did certify Joe Biden’s election, and he was not involved in any of the shenanigans to overturn the election. However, some of these quieter conservatives really should have spoken up all throughout Trump’s term and afterwards. Now they’re getting a taste of it themselves. Will this inspire them to act to denounce all violence?Well, they seem to denounce what’s happening to them, but they need to denounce Trump loudly and clearly. Let’s see if they have the spine to do that.
They helped create this monster. Now they're getting concerned?

What did they expect? That the party of face eating leopards wouldn't eat their faces, too🤦♀️

Loved watching you on the @stephmillershow.
So republicans are being treated like Democrats by their own...good!
I imagine writing this puts you in danger too. It is terrifying and I add you to my prayers for safety.
They came for me before and I sued them and won!! https://www.npr.org/2019/06/15/733081713/dean-obeidallah-wins-4-1-in-defamation-suit-against-neo-nazi-website
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow!! I never knew this.
Wow. I didn’t know either. Well done! I admire your restraint from schadenfreude.
I have suspected this was happening for a few years actually, and FINALLY some are speaking out! So relieved to hear about it!!
“Oh Well!” has turned into “HELL YEAH!”...Lock Them Up!
All I feel is schadenfreude.
That narcissism.
