The attractions of radicalized misogynistic violence to the young White males who are his meat and drink, and of his attempt to exploit that attraction.

One of your links included the video, which I hadn't seen before (I couldn't justify spending any time looking through Gosar's Twitter feed--life is too short). The anime seems a strange choice of source content, but maybe it really says something about him: he is a very small man compared to the "giants" in the clip. (Perhaps that indicates what his staff really thinks of him?) And his comparing himself to Alexander Hamilton makes me wonder what he and the members of his party who defend him would think if someone posted a video depicting Gosar as Hamilton as he was shot in the duel. Would that be viewed as threatening?

No. But it would be historically accurate. He’s unhinged.

He's wearing his flag mask wrong. So is MTG.

His flag is backwards and upside down. Why does he hate America so much?

Stupidity or a political sign? I vote for stupidity!

In other news, last night Matt Gaetz said he might offer Kyle Rittenhouse a congressional internship. Gaetz wants to see if Rittenhouse “is interested in helping the country in additional ways”. Hiring a murderer is one way to distract people from thinking you’re a sexual predator.

Being a glass half full kind of guy, I’ll hope they end up cellmates.

They could scrub each other's back! I don't understand Gaetz, at all.

My first reaction when I saw the title question come up in my feed was "Nothing." Would have been nicer to be wrong.

What Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said! "What is so hard about saying this is wrong?" If the GOP (aside from Kinzinger and Cheney) can't condemn this, how can they be trusted to behave ethically on any other matter? Granted, they lost any shred of respect in my eyes long ago. But still, there is no line that should not be crossed if in the GOP according to them. Alligiance goes to party and Trump, not to the people and what's ethical. That looks like authoritarianism to me, and we the people need to vote for or against that.

All true. If they can't be trusted to condemn this, what CAN they be trusted with?

When Gosar said the video was intended as outreach to da Youth', it was a confession.

I heard he reposted after the censure. Ugh. These dolts need an education on constitutional law. Or perhaps we could just send them into space.

I read that, as well. And that seems a cruel thing to do to space. But yes.
