Someone needs to inform this guy that it's possible to upgrade from microblogging to just regular blogging.

On the plus side, this format builds in something resembling paragraph breaks where you might otherwise get a solid wall of text. Might not be an issue for this guy without post length limit enforcement but I've seen many where it would help.

So Republicans have ODD?

"One group the law protects but does not bind, and one group the law binds but does not protect." aka "rules for thee, none for me" aka "I dictate, you obey" categorises people into hierarchy of ubermensch (the group the law protects but does not bind) and untermensch (one group the law binds but does not protect).

That's fascism, not ODD.. Reoublicans are not mentally ill, they're fascist.

ETA https://www.britannica.com/topic/fascism/Intellectual-origins . the entire article is a good read.

Oh no, you said the fascism word. That’s why the news has a messaging problem. Because, to call that out would mean one of the two parties has failed. And the whole system crumbles. Get out of here with your third party, this is a democracy.

You can have a democracy while having more than two parties. You just need a way of counting votes that isn't first-past-the-post.
