What I am seeing is an angry mob that is about to feel powerless without any representation in DC.
Their definition of representation involves them getting every single outcome they ever want and STIGGINIT. There is literally no scenario where those sort of people will ever feel they are being adequately "represented", regardless of what Graham does or doesn't do.
I'm not going to lose much sleep over that.
No doubt about that. However, I definitely am nervous because we all very well may have a giant problem over the next few years. Graham happened to wander through the airport when a lot of these Kraken/QAnon idiots were returning home but he needed a security detail at the airport. That's not great. I've run into both my Senators a few times randomly over the years at the airport and they never needed one.
Don't disagree at all. It sets a dangerous precedent with lots of possibility to escalate because these people are completely unhinged. I've had a number of discussions with our Senators on DC Delta flights as well. The only one I've ever seen with a significant security detail (that we could notice, anyway) was Orrin Hatch on one of his last trips. Dude had two armed agents with him on the plane, and was met by another four at the gate.
It's a small drop of schadenfreude (because honestly...fuck Lindsey Graham) in a much larger sea of concern.
Woke up this morning to find that Facebook has given me a 24-hour ban for posting this meme.
Social media is weird.

My guess is they have unleashed the moderation algos and have thrown the dials to 'stop everything'.

Nice try, but changing your name and posting a meme making fun of your supporters isn't going to help you get back on social media, Donald.

That was my thought as well.
Interestingly, one of my derper acquaintances made a long “libs dun stole muh election!” post accompanied by a meme about Biden being a pedophile, and it’s still up after 8 hours. I actually went to unfriend him, and it said I can’t do that right now because my account is restricted.
Strong work, FB.

Image recognition probably flags that as pro-MAGA.

Maybe they banned you for posting an image that insulted Wookiees.
Well yeah, but he gave his password to Hugo Chavez.

What’s going on with the Olive Garden stuff? I saw something about this earlier.

Anderson Cooper was criticizing the authorities for letting the rioters at the Capitol walk away and go back to normal life, and sarcastically referenced them going to dinner at Olive Garden. Hannity, desperate for a distraction, took it as a literal attack on Olive Garden.
