Actually all I did originally was note that it’s pretty easy to find primary sources in this case. If you don’t care, though, then don’t.

He promoted the “Great Replacement Theory” (a “fact” as he characterized it) which is plainly a violent-radicalizing notion, with a long violent-radicalizing history and recent examples of violence done in its name. He promoted 2020 electio

I was borderline, almost, kinda, 10% rethinking whether I was actually wrong to label MAGA fascists. Then Kilmeade (multi-decade Fox News host) just casually dropped “we should lethal inject homeless people who refuse help” a day or two ago

My least favorite genre of this are the ones who crow about working 60-70 hours per week and still making time for family or whatever, but it's because they're paying to make 30-40 hours of work that ordinary wage-earning folks do

I agree that doing that without asking if they really mean "any" would in fact demonstrate traits that might be bad for a co-worker. If the candidate reads that this may be the case, asks for, obviously, that reason, and the i
