19. heh, yeah, I know--- I may have actually helped to coin that term on Daily Kos---

before someone decided it was 'against the rules of the road',
because it was deemed "dehumanizing"---

even though the word used was "MAGAts" and not "maggots"...


Now that people are actually being shoved into unmarked vans
by unidentified agents wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves,
I have much less problem with labeling them, or anyone who supports them,
in "dehumanizing terms" (with my apologies to ACTUAL 'maggots)

As I stated on DailyKos,
"when they put us on trains headed towards the death factories,
we will be very happy to know that we are better than them,
because we did not label them with a 'dehumanizing term' "

I had one or two suspensions on that site over this "issue".
Glad DU doesn't have a bug up their ass over those words

MAGAts is an apt description because they are SO far from "making America great again"

3. At a minimum, the GOP should censure Sen Mike Lee but I know they will not. Disgraceful to say the least!

He'd come out, apologize, retract all the vile shit he posted and make at least one compassionate remark toward the victims of this MAGA on Democrat assassination.

Hey Lee, HE WAS ONE OF YOU. It's OK if you disavow him for the sake of decency and honor. No one on the "left" will hold you culpable for this killing. You didn't do it. You have no fault in it. But why are you running? Are you OK with it?

Be a man Mike, I have faith (choking snort) in you.

leaders are not prone to violence or making fun of/mocking the assassination of a political rival.

Mike Lee is complicit in our demise into fascism. History won't judge him kindly. He's absolute trash. And HE was supposed to be the "conservative intellectual"? This is the best you got? A full blown prick who has ZERO compassion and mocks the slaughter of innocent humans.

I am guessing he is NOT prolife given such attitude.

In the last 20 years I have lost any and all respect I ever had for the LDS Church.

Fuck everyone of them!

Mike Lee is just a microcosm of the LDS church, and Christianity in general.
