“He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”, Matthew Dowd stated in his response.

“The Right Wing media mob ginned up, went after me on a plethora of platforms, and MSNBC reacted to that mob.”, Matthew Dowd reported after being fired from MSNBC on Friday.

    Truth. So many warned us of what was coming, if we didn’t remain vigilant. Einstein, Orwell, Jung, and many others… Too many Americans have believed that democracy is a spectator sport. It’s not. Democracy is fragile and depends on every single one of us to survive.

    When Bush/Cheney came to power, and especially after 9/11, the same things happened. Journalists were silenced. Upside: It gave birth to social media because we refused to be silenced. I ended up discovering news sources like Democracy Now,who’ve been around since the 60’s and bravely kept resisting.

    Honestly, even if he had, as I thought he had when I read about this, I still see nothing wrong with what he said.

    No such thing as a right wing mob. Left wing mobs during the BLM riots, that’s true.

    1500 right wing traitors attacked our Capitol bc trump lied about the election to stop the peaceful transfer of power and overturn our lawful election and Constitution. Trump pardoned the low life scum.

    The right-wing are the nice folks who tried to run Joe Biden’s bus off the road in Texas. Later, a Christian right-wing mob smeared sh*t on the capitol walls and killed cops. Such a fine group of unprincipled patriots!
