  1. As a nation, be began by declaring that 'all men are created equal'.... When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty &mdash to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

  3. I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT how in 2000, after #Dubya "won" the election, #Republicans cheered:

    "The adults are finally back in charge!"

    …in reference to Pres. Clinton's sexual scandal(s) (plural if you include every pre-WH sex scandal they could dig up from his past.)

    25 years later, does it seem like "The adults are in charge"? We have an Administration run by #KnowNothings and unqualified ass-kissers, led by a narcissistic former reality-TV show host who's dumber than a bag of wet hair.

  4. The #proHamas protesters are the modern-day version of anti-war protesters who spat in the faces of #veterans returning home from Vietnam. Misguided, on the wrong side of history, ignorant of the facts, and dismissive of the inconvenient reality of the situation they're protesting.

  5. POS #proHamas protesters are seriously telling anyone who will listen that they were attacked with an "#IDF-made #chemicalWeapon" after an #Israeli student sprayed "fart spray" he got from Amazon in their vicinity. I didn't think I could respect these #Islamist #bigots any less, but apparently I was wrong. What a bunch of entitled, lying, petulant crybabies.

    I remember following Tom Nichols on Twitter as he was writing his book on the death of expertise.

    This has been a trend for so long. It’s anti-#Enlightenment, #KnowNothings praxis, while also being un-#American

  7. @GeePawHill
    I’m an #American and if you ask me where I’m from, I’ll say #EastTennessee. It has its own history.

    That being said, all countries have cultures made up of ethos and pathos.

    Transgenerational threads run through them.

    In the U.S., the #KnowNothings have always been present and always will be.

    Some cultures tend to only respect the power of violence.

  8. @Bam @flowerpot @wolfsbruder

    I am certainly using the Kahanist vibe to cross-pollinate existing patterns, akin to MAGAts, bhakts, or other anti-human #KnowNothings faction of society.

    They are, unfortunately, legion.

  9. @RoboftheVolcano @macspace
    These Democrats?

    The #KnowNothings who came out of Reconstruction to lead the Redemption, and then won the culture wars for America’s psyche?

    Those Democrats? 🤔

  10. @jayulfelder I don't know but based on the typography choices alone, they're definitely the baddies. #KnowNothings
