On the one hand a feminist woman gets arrested and persecuted for gender critical tweets, on the other hand Fox News and Republican members of Congress openly incites violent insurrection with impunity. It’s like a kind of displacement behavior – the alpha male bites a junior so the junior bites not the alpha male but someone even more junior. Fox and members of Congress are powerful; feminist women who tweet not so much, so lets go after the feminist women who tweet.

In a Monday night monologue targeting the White House and military leaders over the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, Carlson demanded resignations. He also said: “When leaders refuse to hold themselves accountable over time, people revolt. That happens.

“We need to change course immediately and start acknowledging our mistakes. The people who made them need to start acknowledging them or else the consequences will be awful.”

When did Trump ever hold himself accountable? Name one time.

On Sunday, the North Carolina Republican congressman Madison Cawthorn, a gadfly on the extreme right of the party, said at an event in his state that Joe Biden was not properly elected.

He also said widespread election fraud, which supporters of Donald Trump continue to claim without evidence, would “lead to one place, and that’s bloodshed”.

“And I will tell you,” Cawthorn said, “as much as I am willing to defend our liberty at all costs, there’s nothing that I would dread doing more than having to pick up arms against a fellow American. And the way that we can have recourse against that is if we all passionately demand that we have election security in all 50 states.”

We already have election security. Voter fraud is extremely rare. What he wants is voter suppression.

Can we hold him accountable?
