What, you thought that I wasn’t doom-scrolling like everyone else?
Can you believe this sh*t?
An armed insurrection against the seat of the national government.

TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?

From FindingMyVoice:
Anon004 nails The Stupid when it comes to tossing around political perjoratives with no apparent comprehension of what they mean, exhibit #1 being Rep. Mo Brook's use of "fascist antifa." From Blue Tuesday's diary, Breaking: Wisconsin's biggest paper urges traitor Ron Johnson's expulsion from the Senate.
These people wouldn’t know a fascist, an anti-fascist, a socialist or a communist if one bit them on the ass, and if they all did, they couldn't tell the difference.
They’re just pejorative names they throw around without having a clue as to what they mean. They might as well just call everyone they disagree with poopyheads. It would certainly better reflect their level of understanding (preschooler).
