    Of course the NYT couches it all in language of panic over divisiveness.

    Fuck that, good for Hogg. This is the energy we’ve fucking needed for two fucking decades now.

    Instead for twenty years we got the old guard playing dumb fucking rhetorical games, doing dumb shit like trying to appear “tough on terrorism” by supporting Bush’s unfounded war of aggression in Iraq. Doing dumb shit like saying “We need to look forward, not backward” when it came to prosecuting war crimes. We couldn’t even get anyone with the balls to prosecute war crimes, why did anyone expect them to have the actual balls to prosecure Trump for things less damning than war crimes?
