I don't see Twitter ever banning or suspending Trump because he's singlehandedly keeping Twitter relevant for millions of people, no way Twitter would get rid of that publicity

No, of course I got the Batman reference. Specifically the part about "liberals polling below" whatever, is what I'm asking for clarification on. Or rather, any evidence of this.

"Can you tell us a little bit about the organizing tactics you guys used?"

"Sure. Primarily following the European example of Golden Dawn, the Nordic resistance movement, and other organizations that really are at the vanguard of nationalist organizing around the world. We are able to coordinate over a large area to bring our people together - this is the largest nationalist rally in over two decades here in the United States. It's incredibly exciting, and if you look at what's happened, they've had to bring in leftists from around the entire country to try and stop us. And now, we're continuing, we're gonna keep having a great time, and we're going to keep fighting."

I'm not sure whether people like this actually internalize the fact that they're racist. They might tell themselves that they're fine with people of all skin colors, "except the bad ones," and believe that doesn't count as racism.

There is something in the water at Fox that seems to make people racist. Melissa Francis used to be at CNBC, as was Maria Bartiromo, and both were fairly well adjusted at the time (and coming out as a right wing rear end in a top hat wasn't going to raise any eyebrows at a network that had so many already). Even Clayton Morris at Fox and Friends used to be a fairly chill tech reporter, who would go on this CNET podcast I used to listen to all the time and talk about gaming (404) and he got married to a liberal Hispanic CNET reporter, then got a promotion at Fox, and turned into a textbook racist, disingenuous rear end in a top hat.

Would banning the POTUS twitter account violate some kind of law about archiving government communications or some such? I seem to remember someone bringing that up when he was deleting tweets a while back but am unsure if that would apply here.

One of my dad's formative childhood memories was this great big funeral for a local celebrity, the self described last confederate drummer boy.

Folks came out from several counties over, along the long rural dirt roads that stood before the interstate rolled through, before i66 and and i95 made virginia a modern place.

Dude was a local legend. He supposedly rode with Robert e lee and cared for his noble steed traveler and all this other horseshit.

Some years later my dad read up on the guy at the uva library. That guy did in fact serve after a fashion with the confederate army. He was impressed as a mulatto at the age of 12 and sent to the saltpeter mines. He spent four years in a swamp put by Luray harvesting saltpeter.

This claim for confederate service was essential for that guy. His lungs were shredded from spending the formative years of his childhood as a slave in a swamp. He needed the virginia confederate soldier pension to survive.

And when he died he was remembered as a character in a confederate cosplay red badge of courage. The only real thing about any of it was the culture of dishonesty victimization and pain that man had to work in and through his whole life to simultaneously hide his real story and propagate his fable so he could get money to live.

But hey he got to be a fantastic metaphor.

If you're twitter, you don't even have to ban @realDonaldTrump.

Just take away his blue check.

Donnie's #1 thing that sets him off is being told that he doesn't belong/isn't good enough. Look at the Correspondent's Dinner or any time he's around actual billionaires.

Well he clearly has a headcannon for how the resistance should be conducted and is furious that reality is not conforming to that. He is then channeling that anger into attacking those around him and trying to drive off anyone he deems insufficently pure....

That said a Compaction cycle requires the cooperation of more more than one person, so technically all he is really doing is pissing in the wind.
