Prickly City by Scott Stantis for May 20, 2018

Sez who?

The constant and repeated lying by Trump Disciples is the real incivility.

People are still civil, but the internets not the place for most of it. It brings out some demons in most, if not all at one point or another, who attack everything with a rabid fury. There are plenty scholarly treatises on this effect, but I think we just feel devalued and dismissed by most of society that a collective, unconscious anger just bubbles out. Knowing the effect can help, so resist and say something nice about somebody today.

I’m not voting in this gubernatorial primary. The candidates are either too shrill, too whiney, too stupid, or just plain insulting. And I don’t vote in uncontested races: I’ll be damned if I’m giving somebody a mandate.

Is this a new artist? It looks subtly different.

Because we all remember how civil the Republicans were to President Obama

Even Jonah Goldberg recognizes that the drive to suppress political correctness has gone too far:

I believe that the internet has a lot to do with this.

I must have blinked.
