Being a snowflake yet again.
He threatens to sue a fellow legislator because that guy said mean things about him. Again I’d love to apply Nunes vision of justice to all the MAGA idiots.
I am amazed how easily the “fuck your feelings people” get their feels hurt so easily
I realize what you mean by amazing but it is easy to understand if you know about one psychologically amazing thing, Stockholm Syndrome, that a person can be tortured so badly they identify with, want to be like, and will protect the people who tortured them. It should be evident and easy to see that if that condition is possible, and it certainly is, then anybody in that state exists in an altered reality where they have in fact been deeply emotionally, psychologically aggrieved, filled with hatred and contempt, but only able to express it toward targets OKed by the folk who tortured them, their childhood repressive conformism, conservative, and usually religious culture. You wind up with what most of us would call monsters, people who hate themselves so badly they will kill you if you do anything that would expose their inner reality to them.
What can make for an authoritarian liberal, on the other hand, is when the inner identification becomes attached to the some heroic notion that one is out to save victims. These altered reality folk will want all torturers to suffer, not seeing it as the opposite side of the same psychologically tortured soul. One disease, two forms of manifestation which is why real truth is always some third way that integrates opposite states at a higher level of understanding.
