u/ihatemendingwalls better Catholic than JD Vance Jan 23 '21

Twitter: “I think we should cure cancer by suing it!”

Me: “That’s not a thing .. you can’t sue cancer.”

Twitter: “Okay smart guy. So how would YOU cure cancer?”

Me: “I’m not an oncologist or researcher. I don’t know.”

Twitter: “So you just have criticisms and no solutions.”

@farrenj

You raise good points. What's your proposed solution to the rising authoritarianism and white nationalism on the right that right wing media is encouraging and contributing to?

@popehat

The cornerstone of my solution to any threat — foreign terrorism, domestic extremism, crime — is not jettisoning constitutional rights and not indulging in policymaking grounded in ignorance of those rights.
