No quarter, no mercy....

[PCIntern]

Full court press against these Nazified Rethugs. Professional, personal, family: nothing off the table. Relentless pursuit of the RWers with no time for those who say “we don’t want to stoop to their level”.

First-person encounters, sex tapes, high school miscreant activities, anything and everything. Nothing out of bounds or off-limits. Video testimony from ex-lovers horribly wronged, students from wrestling teams, campaign workers seduced, no action is too petty. Brand them with adjectives and perversions. The more it’s denied, the truer it is. Make them afraid to awaken in the morning. It’s not that hard, they’re truly guilty of much, and their aberrant behavior is their liability. For example: have one of those erotica writers compose the stories that are out. Their elaborate descriptions of events down to the minutiae will add verisimilitude to the story. Sell it hard to America: people love a good story told in detail breathlessly.

No bounds, no bottom.

1. I'm right there with you.

I’ve been saying this for twenty years and more now.

Enough of the “high road” bullshit. We need to be kidney punching and curb stomping.

This isn’t a game, this is war for the foundation of the country.

2. Amen!!

3. It would be better to go after the corporations that fund them

That is who should be given no quarter and no mercy to.

It's pretty fucking simple;

Nothing will change. The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it.

5. so true - boycott is power

Somehow boycotting a-hole companies, comedians, musicians, etc. became "cancel culture" and is now a dirty word. Why??? Capitalism is not for sissies. That goes BOTH WAYS, captains of industry!

4. Right there with you

no more "Nice Guy", they have made it very clear who they are. We need to play the game by the rules they have defined.

Nothing is out of bounds. Nothing.

6. Uh...to what end? Last I saw, people are happy to vote for all sorts of terrible candidates who have

said and done terrible things. What exactly have Democrats been holding out on? What sort of things are you interested in weaponizing, and how can you ensure that weaponizing them won't hurt people we care about?

7. Well, if we start acting like they do, I don't see how we can call out their bullshit anymore.

I understand the point you're making and the frustration and anger behind it, but I don't see how that's a winning strategy in the long term. If they behave a certain way and we, not without justification, accuse them of being monstrous and then behave the same way, what are we if not monstrous? If they make us become like them in order to win, did we really win?

It's possible to fight them effectively without becoming them. It worked for Biden. It worked for us last week in the midterms. I see no reason it will not continue to work. That, and I'm not interested in being monstrous. You do you, though.

8. Uh huh.

Doing it your way has allowed the Nazis to have a voice because no one will shout them down, or hurt them badly. Gah di is a thing of the past.

9. I didn't say anything about not shouting them down.

I'm not keen on violence, though, since that's how they do things. If you want to be monstrous, knock yourself out. I want no part of it. Morality either matters or it doesn't. There is no in between.
