Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Patrisse Cullors, Jim Clyburn, Bloomberg, Ibram X. Kendi, and more.

Insight: “If you are afraid to speak against tyranny, then you are already a slave.” —John “Birdman” Bryant (1943-2009)

For the record: “Americans can only come together when we share a common philosophy, history and culture. Democrats have spent years attempting to tear away those commonalities in favor of coalitional interest-group politics. They’ve declared American philosophy racist from inception; they’ve declared American history a litany of brutalities; they’ve declared American culture bigotry embodied. Now they want unity — the unity of absolute victory.” —Ben Shapiro

Belly laugh of the week: Reporter: “Was there any fraud in your Senate race?” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell: “I don’t know. At the risk of bragging, it wasn’t very close.”

A trip down memory lane: First debate moderator Chris Wallace: “Will you pledge not to declare victory until the election is independently certified?” Joe Biden: “Yes.”

Pay the piper: “Black Lives Matter invested heavily in this election. ‘Vote and Organize’ became our motto, and our electoral justice efforts reached more than 60 million voters. We want something for our vote.” —BLM co-founder and executive director Patrisse Cullors

Grand delusions: “I’m beginning to see what happened in Germany back in the 1930s, I never thought that would happen in this country. How do you elect a person president and all of a sudden give him the authority to be a dictator? That’s what we’re dealing with around here. That’s what Hitler did in Germany. He was elected Chancellor and then … successfully discredited the news media, took over the churches.” —House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (Remind us again which party is singling out churches and forcing their closure during the COVID lockdowns?

Dezinformatsiya, Part I: “For perhaps the first time in American history, a coordinated effort to taint or even overturn a presidential election may be underway.” —Bloomberg (“Yea the past 4 years totally weren’t exactly that?!? You people are … clowns.” —Donald Trump Jr.)

Dezinformatsiya, Part II: “Yes, it is possible for a story to be factually accurate and for it to be part of a misinformation campaign aimed at undermining confidence in an election.” —NYT columnist Kevin Roose after being fact-checked on his claims that factual reports about election fraud were “right-wing misinformation.”

Lack of self-awareness: “Republicans are such fraudsters and super good at projecting. This is really harmful to our democracy and it has to end.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

Braying jackass: “We the people of the United States do not have a single national soul, but rather two souls, warring with each other. The battle for the soul of America is actually the battle between the souls of America.” —Ibram X. Kendi (“It would be hard to engineer a more divisive way to portray the country than this.” —Colin Wright

Non compos mentis: “The term ‘legal vote’ is as fictionally fraught and functionally racist as the terms ‘illegal alien’ and ‘race neutral’ and ‘welfare queen’ and ‘handouts’ and ‘super predator’ and ‘crackbaby’ and ‘personal responsibility’ and ‘post racial.’” —Ibram X. Kendi

And last… “Coronavirus panic gave you mass mail-in voting. Mass mail-in voting gave you President Joe Biden. Remember that the next time The System (Left and Right) is telling you to fear something. Fear always leads to more government. Always.” —Jesse Kelly
