The DC elites are mystified as to why everyone hates them. They can't think outside the beltway.

This is much closer to my opinion.

She's not mad, crazy, fascist—or at least not on this evidence.

No, she thinks she's being witty. "We should just, like, ya' know SEND THEM TO A RE-EDUCATION CENTER! Heh-heh. Heh-heh. Or, like, come up with a FINAL SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM! Heh-heh."

She has the social and political awareness of someone far to the bad side of the spectrum. Clueless.

See, *you* are the one using terms like "final solution" and "re-education". You're putting words in her mouth and then mocking her for them, just as Matt did.

She's explicitly talking about the "little tail of extremism wagging the dog of the Republican party", as you would surely know if you'd actually consumed the source material. What Hillary said is 100% reasonable, and probably will need to be attempted at some point, if MAGA cultists continue shooting up FBI offices, storming government buildings, attempting to kidnap elected officials, and forming vehicular convoys to try and run opposition politicians off the road during campaign travel. THAT is dangerous, and it's not just rhetorical.

As opposed to what, trans activists murdering little Christian schoolkids and hordes of Antifa running out of the woods attacking policemen in Atlanta?

How about we throw you in camps instead? We’ll only go for the radicals, promise 😉

Have a problem with it now? Hypocritical fuck.

"As opposed to what, trans activists"

Blatant falsehood.

1. It was a trans *person*, not a trans *activist*. There is zero evidence the shooting was politically motivated. This is just as stupid as saying "most mass shooters are white, therefore mass shootings are inherently white supremacist".

2. It was *one* person. This happened once.

3. The overwhelming majority of politically-motivated mass shootings in America are carried out by hard-right racists. In 2022, *all* of them were.

Again: the only people using words like "camps" here are the people in your camp. As you alluded to, this is a positively Hitlerian political strategy to create moral equivalence for any kind of insane political violence the right chooses to unleash.

The violent incidents involving so-called "MAGA cultists" always seem to be false flag events caused by government agents. The one which went to trial - the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer - turned out to be exactly that. And how about those fake nazi marches, with half a dozen fully masked participants decked out in ridiculous uniforms? Please.

"seem to" is doing the heavy lifting here. Literally anything can "seem to" be a false flag if you listen to liars and propagandists.

Definitely a bot… no real human responds that fast to a random comment on Substack.

Huh? Are you seriously attempting to argue that responding quickly makes me a bot?

How dumb can you be? That's not even good trolling, it's such a stupid and obviously baseless claim.

I don't think they care why everyone hates them. I wonder if they know we remembered Obama saying, "We must look forward."

I hope these psychopaths get what they deserve.

They would have to be much less oblivious to be mystified. They are having a ball. They are having the time of their lives riding high in their respective dream careers. Why would they distract themselves by even noticing that we hate them let alone puzzling over why?

Why would they allow themselves to be distracted by a bunch of Racket News chuds? That seems farfetched.

I meant "we" a bit more broadly than that, i.e. voters who aren't also partisans or Beltway hacks.
