    Decorum is a massive understatement. Democrats have a civility fetish. During a fascist descent, decorum and civility do nothing other than preserving the status quo. They are obsessed with procedure and elevate it almost to a godlike status. It’s also why theyve been losing so hard in recent years. Republicans have no problem employing rhetoric and breaking procedure. Democrats are consistently bringing knives to gun fights.

    During a fascist descent, civility = disarmament.

      Democrats are consistently bringing tea and cupcakes to gun fights.

      Pritzger and Mamdani are winning with the public, and hopefully more candidates will see and follow in their footsteps. They are at least bringing knives and planning to do their level best. But how Chuck Schumer saw Pelosi’s husband get his skull fractured with a hammer and still came out saying “I think we can work out a compromise for the good of the country” and similar bullshit is baffling to me.
