It's all so hard to remember, but Van Jones used to be someone you'd think was part of the solution instead of an apologist for the problem. In those days, he was bounced out of the White House because at an earlier point he had called Republicans "assholes." I mentioned this about a year ago, when Stephen Miller wasn't bounced out of the White House for writing a number of white supremacist emails.
Today I saw this juxtaposition on Twitter, which reminded me of the same scenario:
Basically, the image shows a tweet reporting that the woman Biden wants to have as deputy chief of staff was quoted somewhere referring to Capitol Hill Republicans as f*ckers (a term they have never heard before, I'm sure!). Not even all Republicans — just the ones on Capitol Hill. Which seems amply demonstrated at this point.
The next tweet has a quote from Georgia Senator David Perdue explaining how he's trying to segregate (his word) any absentee ballots in the January run-off election that are voted by people who registered after the presidential election, treating them as provisional ballots.
Which of those does any actual harm? Perdue's actions.
But which one will cause outrage? The one by a woman (and Democrat) who swore, not a Republican man who actually wants to do harm to other people and their rights.
Time to start ignoring these kerfuffles and forge ahead, Democrats.
