Beto O’Rourke called a gun creep who laughed while he talked about the Uvalde massacre a “motherfucker’ and NPR ran a story tut-tutting the bad word instead of the sociopathy. This is a pattern with establishment types: deploring a lack of decorum while something much worse is going on. Trump may be a fascist — but he’s so rude! Cops are killing Black people and other racial minorities with no accountability— but a protester smashed a shop window! The priorities are upside down.

I’ve used the uptight pundit frog demon before, when he was deploring incivility, avocado toast and fidget spinners. 2017! An innocent time?
