So Ted Cruz looks dumb shading @BetoORourke. I admit it makes me laugh that he thinks these things should turn voters off, but you know, this is not just the desperation of a say anything man (Trump Rally is really the sign) it's the kind of campaign that works with GOP base. 1/
Remember, this is a base that does not care about corruption & cupidity so long as you appoint the right judgesl. They don't care about child molesting if you can ban abortion. They care about social issues that reinforce homophobic white supremacist patriarchy 2/
So Ted is not bothering with policy issues because they don't care about policy issues. Cruz is showing countercultural Beto because they fear challenges to their cultural hegemony. It's silly, but it's not stupid. #BetoForTexas

I am getting exhausted by the stupidity of the RW talking points regarding Kavanaugh. Let's consider the main ones. 1/
The Kavanaugh Didn't Do It But It Happened argument. Variations include the doppelganger theory raised by ethically deficient mutants. He was not a stranger so this is not mistaken identification. It's either = or. Own your misogyny, haters 2/
The All Men Are Rapists When They're Young Argument - this is mostly coming from Republican women. For partisan purposes, they are calling their husbands, fathers, and sons rapists. Wow. 3/
No, I looked, they are all tweeting. What the hell?
Is it my twitter flood of GOP predators somehow changing who comes up on my timeline? They would be tweeting about Kavanaugh, too, he's hostile to voting rights.
