I'm praying for a speedy release of Trump's taxes and following indictments. Him getting sick & dying would derail that, so count me among the suddenly religious.

In reply to Rachel Maddow is actually a

Greenwald isn't looking deeper. He's looking at what most intelligent people know is rather superficial, somewhat exaggerated partisan political speech and acting like it's dispassionate news reporting or even the pundits deepest beliefs. It's a superficial look at the superficial all the while pretending it's serious.

Democrats say they're praying/wishing for a "speedy recovery" because it's socially correct or a wise political decision. What they actually think they keep to themselves but I doubt they're all sincerely praying for recovery. The only person I hope recovers is Melania because if she dies Trump will get sympathy votes. I couldn't care less if all the rest of the white house inner circle die including Trump. Of course if I said that on the "liberal" network MSNBC I have to apologize or get fired. For all we know what Maddow is actually thinking might be, I hope the fucker dies.

Rachel Maddow is actually a centrist devil pretending to be a liberal:

Credit to Glenn. He looks around at the world, at all the various crises afflicting America, and does not shy away from using his platform to address the deeper issues behind them all, like what Rachel Maddow is up to on MSNBC. https://t.co/tRNwAJmyh8

Ken Vogel retweeted this, so it must be true:

Well, the left hates Ken Vogel too. So there is that.

Hoping he's right

What these grumpy "this is warrrr, and it's all liberalism's fault!" people are doing, besides misunderstanding liberalism, power, and society, and their own fear and shame, is severely overestimating how many real Woke people there are and the commitment of Woke signalers.
— James Lindsay, Captain Deathstar Underpants (@ConceptualJames) August 24, 2020

The number of reasonable lefties realizing the Woke are horrifying is rapidly increasing and may hit critical mass soon. Violence won't be tolerated long (a few months isn't long for this kind of thing). Other lefties signaled and got bored.

Edit to add: his thread continues and has gotten a number of interesting replies

He added this, for example:

Wokeness isn't counterculture anymore. It's conformist culture. That means its days of being cool are badly numbered, and that would be the case even if these precious radicals weren't blowing all their social capital with riots and violence, which nobody likes.

He'd have a lot more credibility if he linked to a similar article chastising black voters for sitting out the 2016 election. Or if he made it clear in this article that it was black voters abstaining last election that got us into this situation we're in today. It's always the left that has to eat this fucking shit and hold our fucking noses and get out and vote. Fuck him and fuck Biden.

While I was a guest on WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show” on Wednesday, a listener named Ian called in with an enraging comment. He deemed the Democratic convention “Republican lite” because of speakers such as former secretary of state Colin Powell. Ian declared that former president Barack Obama’s push to work with Republicans during his eight years in the White House was “an attempt to appease the Republican right wing, and that’s what brought us Trump.” But it was Ian’s last comment that sent me over the edge: “I have not been convinced. I am still abstaining.”

To quote Steve Harvey, “Aw, hell naw!”

Listen, I know that Ian speaks for more Americans than I would like. But it is highly irresponsible for anyone to say they are “abstaining” from the November election. After everything we have seen over the past 3 1/2 years [....]

I’m so tired of those holier-than-thou progressives who continue to demand purity in the face of an existential threat like Trump. They were probably quick to take to the streets to protest for Black lives and against racial injustice, but are hedging on whether voting for Democratic nominee Joe Biden is worth it. They probably rail against inaction on climate change, but seem willing to let a science denier remain in the Oval Office. They most certainly thunder against income inequality and the increasing massive wealth of the mega-rich. And yet, they want to lecture from on high instead of casting a vote that could help remove a man and his family who are using public office to enrich themselves.

Warns liberals need to stop playing around and answer the question: which side are you on you on, bro?

“Liberals will have to choose between two alternatives: either they will submit to the Marxists, and help them bring democracy in America to an end. Or they will assemble a pro-democracy alliance with conservatives. There aren’t any other choices.” https://t.co/xcbHt4xX4C

I just can’t believe I KNOW people who equate American values with radical socialism. Opportunity with entitlement. Protest with lawlessness. Racial equity with unfair advantage. Compassion with weakness. Fairnsss with gaming the system. Some folks just don’t “get” America.
