We've all seen the video of Tom Cotton asking the Singaporean CEO of TikTok Shou Zi Chew if he's Chinese, right?
At this point why is anyone taking Tom Cotton seriously?
Tom Cotton is the psycho who penned an op-ed urging that the country deploy martial law against BLM protesters. Shit like that is why a specific demographic (Nazis) take him seriously.
They can't be little Gazas. There aren't a bunch of dead children.
Yet.
Aren't they on American school grounds? 🤔
Calling this guy a pigshit ratfucker would be an insult to pigshit ratfuckers.
It ludicrous that people allow antisemitism to enter this debate and we would do well to remember the cynicism of those who are prepared to weaponise and deploy the slur.
All you have to do is take any single protestor and look at what they were doing this time last year or the year before .
They were busy boycotting nestle, or marching for BLM, or facing down the alt right, entirely unconcerned with Israel or Jewish people.
They have been activated by Israel’s behaviour toward Gaza which is widely condemned by the United Nations and across the world
I will keep repeating this because it needs to be repeated: I am Jewish. Being against Israel is not antisemitism. It's Israel who wants you to think that.
And Tom.Cotton.
The only thing this shit bag needs is a guillotine to lay in.
Why not a rusty axe instead?
Still too quick.
A rusty soup spoon.
It will take a lot of time.
It's an axe, why does it matter if it's rusty. It doesn't cut, it cleaves.
I suppose that's my dramatic way of implying the axe is dull, plus I think we're both referring to different axes. A executioner's axe, which I was thinking of, was supposed to slice cleanly through the neck.
And in 36 hours we'll see the centrists have recalibrated their scales and move rightward yet again. Surely they just need to take one more step to the right before they've triangulated Tom Cotton into electoral doom. Republicans would never just take the validation of their messaging as a win and sign to move further right.
To be clear, this is framed as speculation about the future, but it's a description of the past. Tom Cotton thinks calling college students pro-Hamas is good politics because centrists accommodated and shadowed their previous messaging. The Josh Gottheimers of the world will continually sabotage the party to play centrist and if he's not made a pariah by the rest of the party calling it abhorrent, he gets to define what "the Democrats" are in the media.
Example: "Scoop: Democrats turn up the heat on Columbia University"
I believe we are witnessing a fascist takeover and it doesn't matter who gets elected now.
Context: Tom Cotton is a Republican
and the majority of democrats agree with him.
From the comments:
Tom Cotton is the most Republican of Republicans
Projection.
Tom Cotton is a disgusting cesspool of hate. Vile might be his middle name. The shit this guy has spewed from his mouth over the years.
Don't give this fool eyeballs
Don’t let a senator operate without being watched.
Give him all the eyeballs and then maybe a good defenestration or two.
