Good twitter thread smashing the "both sides" argument

1) There’s been a lot of handwringing in the media pundit corps and centrist politicians these days about the loss of comity, post-Kavanaugh. And then Donald Trump made them all look absurd with his remarks at his rally last night.

4. that orange piece of garbage actually said this:

"You don’t hand matches to an arsonist, and you don’t give power to an angry left-wing mob. Democrats have become too EXTREME and TOO DANGEROUS to govern. Republicans believe in the rule of law - not the rule of the mob. "

6. full thread important...

and my opinion is that we are currently experiencing a "civil war"... just not the violent one that many radical Republicans want/think is coming

7. This has gone too far

When Kim and Trump were trading insults and "joking" about use of nuclear weapons, I literally heard "conservatives" say NK can nuke Hawaii and California to get rid of the liberals.

When California was fighting to extinguish the wildfires, the governor asked for federal aid. I heard many conservatives say "liberal California" shouldn't get anything as they disobey federal law (referring to immigration law), and how they suck up all the tax dollars to pay for their welfare citizens and "illegals."

This... coming from people that have the nerve to call themselves "patriots." That is appalling and disgusting to me. They would be willing to let an enemy to the United States attack the homeland to get rid American citizens that happen to have different political stances????? They're not willing to put away their partisanship to provide aid to the state that houses the largest amount of American citizens????? Self-proclaimed patriots?????

8. Most of the blue states

are ones that pay more into the federal government in taxes than they get in return.
