Stephen Miller spent his weekend, as he is wont to do, describing American politics as if the nation were in the advanced stages of civil war and as if he were dictating a message while racing to a mountain hideout to escape bloodthirsty guerillas. “There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded,” he wrote on X. “And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.”
I was never maga, but I was politically ignorant for a long time (never voted for the C. Diff stain in office thank fuck) until I divorced my abusive ex. I was able to reflect on that marriage in therapy and finally saw how the sausage was made. Left religion in the dust, went hard left politically, and that’s when I started to really see the parallels between abusive relationships and right wing ideology.
That therapist was a badass. Without her help, I probably would’ve still been stuck in that marriage.
