    That second one is jawdropping, mostly for how familiar its tone seems in modern discourse, and for narrowly missing calling anyone “uppity.”

      Pretty sure that Fox News saves money by recycling old opinion pieces.

        They have to rehash the old shit because they stand in opposition to people trying to do anything new. Gay/trans rights for example. They’ve been regurgitating the same tired rhetoric since the 60s (and probably earlier than that in some form). Conservatives have to fall back on old strategies because doing anything different would be progress

          I’m sure the Romans executed people for arbitrary reasons as well. Hierarchies need scapegoats and a criminal class to keep the middle class subdued.
