@andrewstroehlein "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. 1/2

@andrewstroehlein ... Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about 'Western civilization,' while armed brutes try to tear it down by force." 2/2

@independentpen@mas.to @andrewstroehlein@mastodon.social There's actually a pattern here. The depraved, the criminal, the bigoted, the corrupt very frequently seem to operate on an unconscious belief that everyone else is secretly just like them. And therefore they're not doing anything wrong.
