You said it. What the actual fuck do you have to be on to pull those ephemeral threads of association out of thin farty air and then weave them into ....LYNCHING. JTFC
Some (many?) are projecting their own dark thoughts, of which they are ashamed but know they have, onto others. They are driven by guilt over things they never did, it all fits pretty well.
Not every progressive, but many more than one might at first suppose.
Yes absolutely!.....and where in sports do we draw the line for "violence"? American football is ....violent? Or just intensely physical? How about Rugby? or even Everywhere Else Football? (Soccer...:D), fencing? Boxing? yeesh. Quite a difference between compensated consenting adult athletes competing with each other for sport and an inflamed mob chasing down an innocent person and killing them!! Consent - and one ends in unjust death while the others do not. The comparison between UFC fighting and lynching is ridiculous, and either unhinged, intentionally inflammatory, or both.
They may mean what you guess, but it has a special cutout: any violence that THEY enjoy as entertainment is fine - bring the kids - but anyone NOT them better LOOK OUT!
An acronym would be LAWW's - Liberal American White Woman, and it has a kind of "look out, man!" sound to it, right? Get one angry and you're lucky to walk away with a shirt on your back, get two angry and God help you!
Does she really wonder that? I am not familiar with her, but from this short bit she seems like the type to never contemplate why anyone would dislike her, or even necessarily be aware that anyone would dislike her - other than "misogyny."
Ms. Richardson and her ilk are shocked, shocked I tell you, that the White House grounds have been debased by UFC fighting. Can you imagine what they might say if some President were, for example, to have had sex with an intern just around the corner from the Oval Office? Now, that would debase the White House.
Those are all protected actions in the eyes of the woke progressive because they are performed by oppressed demographics. You are just not seeing it thru their eyes. I guarantee they would also not be upset if you set up a gender affirming care clinic on the lawn and start mutilating 12 year old mental patients.
Exactly. I don’t recall a single editorial in national, mainstream media or prominent politician decrying the absolute grotesqueness of THAT spectacle.
No, I was being sarcastic that it doesn’t matter what good will or event this White House sponsors, the media and liberals will find fault with it because it’s the Trumps.
She is truly fucking insane and paranoid to the Nth degree, but somehow has this air of respectability. Her entire shtick is basically summing up 4 hours of MSNBC in an essay that you can read in about 15 minutes. Hell, she might have been writing their shit for them. She and Maddow are our two "respected conspiracy theorists, who'll just say any crazy nonsense with zero pushback."
Absolutely brilliant. I had a conversation with a fairly well-educated friend in the last year where I mentioned the Democratic party’s connection to slavery, and she truly had no idea. We are unfortunately, collectively, at the mercy of an even more desiccated public education system now.
The experiment of placing women in positions of authority has failed. Utterly failed. We keep pretending it is something else, but our women are out of control.
Masculine cultures see that we put our women in charge and see us as weak and ineffective.
Heather Cox Richardson is a real life Wicked Witch, literally.
Susie Wiles is a gifted Executive Assistant. She may be an exception to the rule, although she doesn’t really fit what I am talking about in regards to women and power.
The Chief of Staff for the President is not an executive assistant. Suzie Wiles is the head of the Executive Office and wields tremendous power. Every POTUS has been male, even the terrible ones such as Biden.
If by “head of the executive office” you intended to mean Chief of Staff, yes, that is her title. She is the first woman to hold that position. I’m not sure how much power she actually has under Trump. It’s not like she is Ron Klain, the autopen magician under feeble Biden.
Yes, all presidents have been male. Why is that important?
It's not important, but your own words were "The experiment of placing women in positions of authority has failed." There have been no women sitting at the Resolute desk, arguably the most powerful position on the planet, but perhaps some of the men who sat there weak and ineffective were controlled by female witchcraft.
Agreed, however there's room for a modicum of sympathy: they were herded socially by the feminist movement toward life choices which they were not ready for, or maybe even not capable of handling.
The movement told American women that unless they were climbing the career ladder, they weren't doing their part. Even worse, they ridiculed any woman who wanted to be a mom. Can you imagine? The one thing that all little girls would think about? The term "housewife" became like calling someone the N-word. Then they took the self-destructive step telling women that they could do it all, be it all, have it all - you are Superwoman!
I'm glad the kryptonite was uncovered and is doing it's job, but it's sort of like waking up Saturday morning next to this scary looking stranger who's face, which you found attractive last night, is now smudged all over the pillow, and what you see makes you peek under the sheets to make sure you haven't made a BIG mistake! It's the old "chew your arm off" joke.
I do have sympathy, but we are suffering mightily from second wave feminism, which has bloomed into communism in our cities and government. It is a clear and present danger. The time for understanding and sympathy is at an end.
May the pendulum swing back in time for my granddaughters to live their lives naturally, free from ugly bullies like Heather Cox Richardson
My hunch is she's a nepo baby who has had little exposure as child, and apparent less as an adult (never mind interest) understanding the other side of the tracks. Those who were around during Watergate will have the thought that "Cox" plus "Richardson" (if her birth name) isn't likely Scotch-Irish, and will look further... To wit:
Here's Wikipedia' "early life" intro:
"Heather Cox Richardson was born on October 8, 1962, in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Maine. She attended Phillips Exeter Academy and later earned her AB, MA, and PhD from Harvard University."
A bit skimpy on how she got from "Chicago" and "Maine" to Philips Exeter, if you ask me. Presumably she stumbled upon it because NH is just one state over from wherever her jr high stomping ground was? And then, Preparation H indicates little intellectual wanderlust (not to mention external competition), but who am I to judge?
Here's DuckAI, to my asking who her parents were (I couldn't find it in search results, hmm):
"Heather Cox Richardson was born in Chicago in 1962 and raised in Maine, but her parents' names and details are not publicly available in the provided web search content."
Not a good PR look, Heather. It appears she's now thrashing because she has discovered (maybe only subconsciously) that she's on a sinking ship, but doesn't actually have the intellectual ability to fashion a constructive path out of her echo chamber.
"Father (Irving McDonald Richardson Sr.): He worked as a corporate accountant and was a senior partner at Alexander Grant and Company (a major accounting firm) ... After retiring and moving the family to Maine, he became an early environmental activist. He served as a director for both the Portland Society of Natural History and the Maine Audubon Society.
"Mother (Catherine Cox): During World War II, she worked as a military writer and recruiter for the war effort. Later in life, she became a media publisher and writer, publishing a hunting and fishing magazine in Maine and writing a newspaper column for a local politician."
So, my supposition looks correct. Just the person qualified to be telling us what's really there deep in the hearts and minds of UFC fans!
“In this house we believe in science” except for human biology, and “no human is illegal” but the doors are locked and the security system is the best that money can buy.
Pretty brassy, coming from one of the rabble who booed when the Butler sniper missed and then cheered ecstatically when Charlie's assailant succeeded. They should not presume to scold anyone about the value of human life, when they have inserted so many loopholes into the idea of it.
Disheartening but not surprising - all part of the whole irrational adolescent tantrum.
So terribly sad that people booed for one and cheered for another. No matter who is the recipient of the booing and cheering. I am the mom of two grown up boys and the thought of someone cheering their death enrages me.
…and Heather Cox Richardson wonders why normal Americans absolutely loathe white liberal women.
You said it. What the actual fuck do you have to be on to pull those ephemeral threads of association out of thin farty air and then weave them into ....LYNCHING. JTFC
They're all obsessed with lynchings, slavery, and Nazis.
That's all they have.
You may be selling them short...Islamophobia, Transphobia, misogyny, etc.
No, they have lies and bigger lies, and massive exaggerations. And they're childish enough to believe that's all it takes.
Some (many?) are projecting their own dark thoughts, of which they are ashamed but know they have, onto others. They are driven by guilt over things they never did, it all fits pretty well.
Not every progressive, but many more than one might at first suppose.
Well, Democrats are famous for their LYNCHINGS.
06/16/26: It's very easy to do. All you need to have is The Answer before you hear The Question.
I know nothing about any of this but would guess they mean the enjoyment of violence as entertainment.
NASCAR is violence?
Wrestling and lynching are comparable?
Both end in "ing".
🤣
Sort of a good point, but … have you seen any franchise movies lately? Is Spiderman lynching-adjacent? Deadpool? Batman sequel no. 99?
Yes absolutely!.....and where in sports do we draw the line for "violence"? American football is ....violent? Or just intensely physical? How about Rugby? or even Everywhere Else Football? (Soccer...:D), fencing? Boxing? yeesh. Quite a difference between compensated consenting adult athletes competing with each other for sport and an inflamed mob chasing down an innocent person and killing them!! Consent - and one ends in unjust death while the others do not. The comparison between UFC fighting and lynching is ridiculous, and either unhinged, intentionally inflammatory, or both.
That is an interesting perception. I will give it some thought
They may mean what you guess, but it has a special cutout: any violence that THEY enjoy as entertainment is fine - bring the kids - but anyone NOT them better LOOK OUT!
06/16/26: And if you don't agree with her, she'll have you swinging at the end of a rope.
This is simply all the venomous New England pre-Civil War and Reconstruction Abolitionism, reborn ("matter cannot be destroyed.").
Remember the people who didn't give a damn about the welfare of the American slaves but used the issue to gain personal political power and status?
2026: DayShaaaVoo!
Because they are all OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS?
Bingo.
An acronym would be LAWW's - Liberal American White Woman, and it has a kind of "look out, man!" sound to it, right? Get one angry and you're lucky to walk away with a shirt on your back, get two angry and God help you!

Can you imagine what they might say if some President were, for example, to have had sex with an intern just around the corner from the Oval Office? Now, that would debase the White House.
Or have interns having gay sex in the House of Representatives? Or Trannies flashing their breasts on the white house lawn?
Or how about finding an unclaimed stash of cocaine that oddly enough no one knows how it got there LoL.
Precisely. Did these paragons of moral virtue have anything to say about those incidents?
Those are all protected actions in the eyes of the woke progressive because they are performed by oppressed demographics. You are just not seeing it thru their eyes. I guarantee they would also not be upset if you set up a gender affirming care clinic on the lawn and start mutilating 12 year old mental patients.
The double standard is epic. They know- but they don't care. They LITERALLY have no problem with rules that apply to you do not apply to them.
Lest we forget, 21 yr old interns for blow jobs in the Oval Office who are later themselves vilified
How about trans "women" flaunting their bare breasts on the White House lawn?
Wasn't that hastily condemned?
Was it? Was Biden asked to apologize for it, or any other prominent Dem?
And how did that videotaped S&M gay sex in the House of Representatives just get swept under the rug?!
Exactly. I don’t recall a single editorial in national, mainstream media or prominent politician decrying the absolute grotesqueness of THAT spectacle.
By whom?
And that itself is small potatoes compared to some of the stuff JFK got up to.
Hey that was a different era... 😉
I gather Andrew Jackson hosted cock fights, while Teddy Roosevelt hosted boxing matches.
Not around the corner, under his desk…
Meh. I feel there's a bit of overthinking here. I don't think UFC has much to do with it; it's just that they hate Trump.
Had Trump organized a Vivaldi concert instead, that would've been "the impulse that really pushed lynching in the late 19th century", just the same.
That would be hilarious. A Debussy-Paul Klee festival or something…
Melania hosts The Nutcracker over the Holidays for underprivileged children….
How can that possibly be true? The legacy media did not report about it at all.
No, I was being sarcastic that it doesn’t matter what good will or event this White House sponsors, the media and liberals will find fault with it because it’s the Trumps.
And I in turn was being sarcastic - - hope it was obvious - - about not being true because the MSM did not tell us about it
sorry! i’m in the midst of moving and my brain is fried!
Trump actually loves music, has perfect pitch etc. – – but the music industry seems to be trying to blackmail anybody who wants to perform there.
I really wish Trump would heartily endorse some of the left's sacred cows ...
Oh that would be a mindfuck for them. How quickly they'd have to divest one of their shibboleths.
Brilliant! The only way to get rid of HCR would be for Trump to praise her to the stars!
If Trump had organized a Vivaldi concert, we would be looking for body snatcher pods behind the White House.
It makes more sense when you realize that the American, organized "resistance" left has really few directives beyond "make sure you PWN the chuds".
She is truly fucking insane and paranoid to the Nth degree, but somehow has this air of respectability.

How is it that HCR is touted to be a Constitutional scholar??
She has so many subscribers, which amazes me.
They hate you. They really do
Sadly, in my current deep blue Northern California enclave, she remains an oracle of insight and truth.

Trump keeps doing this stuff to keep them at peak deplorable hysteria. It’s hilarious.
White Democrats
the party of slavery
Jim Crow
and lynching
hate everyone
especially those who remind them
of their history
Absolutely brilliant. I had a conversation with a fairly well-educated friend in the last year where I mentioned the Democratic party’s connection to slavery, and she truly had no idea. We are unfortunately, collectively, at the mercy of an even more desiccated public education system now.
Is that a modified haiku?
Extended Haiku -- Extaiku.
(Not a real thing. Inspired by your comment, I just made the term up.)
Those lynchings that plagued the Jim Crow south, where the victim lived and got paid a $3 million lynch purse
I had to think about that one for a minute!
I still don't get it.
The UFC fighters are getting handsomely paid for being the subjects of today's equivalent of "lynching".
Like when Colin Kaepernick compared the NFL to slavery, then cried foul when the league declined to re-enslave him.
$3 million is pretty light for that setting.

Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton. Not only males but all also had a male for Chief of Staff. The combo of Trump and Suzie Wiles is amazing.
Susie Wiles is a gifted Executive Assistant. She may be an exception to the rule, although she doesn’t really fit what I am talking about in regards to women and power.

There have been no women sitting at the Resolute desk, arguably the most powerful position on the planet, but perhaps some of the men who sat there weak and ineffective were controlled by female witchcraft.
I don’t think the singular example of the presidency undermines my point.
With that being said, it’s pretty clear Joe Biden was not in charge and the most likely person handling him would be his wife Jill.
“…our women are out of control.”
Been to one of those Iron John sweat tent deals?
I had to get AI’s help, not knowing the reference. I haven’t been to one of those, but I do have two daughters and a wife 😂

Yep, it's true, they have become Fem-Nazis. But I'm hopeful they've hit rock bottom, so I'm hopeful for your granddaughters.
Bingo. We have a "chicks escaped from the kitchen and bedroom" problem.
I'm a Gen X'er from a town about 35 miles away from Boston, and even we loved shit like pro wrestling, monster trucks, heavy metal ...
I admit that New England is sort of a day trip away from America, but we have areas of overlap, too.
She may be highly educated, but she is a moron. The two are certainly not mutually exclusive.

Now THAT is hilarious !
Everyone is so over the top.
UFC is not my thing so i don't watch it, but i don't think those that do aren't human.
The people shitting on UFC people are mostly the people who think its ok to mutilate mentally ill children, so i think i'll stick with the UFC types.
They also think its racist to notice non-Americans robbing you blind with endless fraud.
Gotta love the "Hate has no place here" crowd ladling on the hate towards the people they consider untermenschen.
The complete lack of self reflection would be hilarious if it wasn't so evil.
