7 thoughts on “Republicans seize on train derailment to go after Buttigieg

  1. I’m personally inclined to believe that the basis for these attacks is the same thing that drives most MAGA Republicans and that seems liked veiled discrimination.

    1. Absolutely. If Buttigieg were heterosexual, nobody would have cared. In fact, most likely, those Epsilon humans would argue that the trains never would have derailed and East Palestine would have remained a pointless, obscure town. They certainly would never blame #45’s deregulations, which of course #46 had two years to repeal but did not. (Possibly because none of those deregulations would have prevented this from happening?)

      Heck, the whole thing would have been page 6 news (as the legacy media was trying desperately to keep it), if it weren’t for thinly veiled homophobia. After all, these are mere peasants and they simply don’t matter.

  2. When you are party now built on outrage and grievance, this would be a logical step.

    For the record, I was a republican, I just don’t identify with either side anymore. I joke with my friends that I’m so moderate that I upset everyone. When I told a neighbor that I took FOX, MSNBC, and CNN off of my channel lineup it made him so mad that he went home. The idea that someone would dare remove FOX news enraged him. Crazy.

    1. Does this mean that you believe the Democratic party is not “built on outrage and grievance”?

      As someone who is not at all a fan of FOX (to which I agree–it’s still corporate media), do you think that Democrats respond cordially if you mock CNN or MSN?

      Do the folks of East Palestine have no right to be mad and the inordinately mild government response? At the very best, they won’t be able to sell their homes for years. Let’s forget about the astronomically elevated risk for cancers or pulmonary issues–I’m sure that’s just some of that “white rage” that a sage like Mark Millie was talking about.

      Why DO so many people at the IBJ harbor such intense hatred for people from the white lower-middle or working class? Isn’t that like 80% of Indiana’s population?

    2. LOL. Randy the free thinking Democrat. Randy, your party wrote the playbook on selling outrage. BLM! Racism! Cop Hate! Pronoun Wars! The war on the Teachers Union, oops I mean, Public Education! Randy, remember the 2020 summer of riots and downtown Indy being boarded up 3 times?

      Lauren, the answer to your last question is: IBJ employees are just a bunch of Democrat “journalists” trying to get clicks and sell ads
      IBJ — “going after”. What kind of sophomoric headline is that? Remember when you “journalists” manufactured allegations to go after Brett Kavanaugh, or decided to go after a high school kid waiting on a bus because his clothing identified him as a Republican? I don’t remember the phrase “go after” in any of those headlines
