A casual stroll through the dank, subterranean environs of X (formerly Twitter) will quickly acquaint you with a hoard of slime festooned troglodytes who gibber obsessively about the destruction, defunding, and obliteration of the FBI. “An American Stasi!”…The latest incarnation of “Hitler’s SS!” or “Brown Shirts!”…the sodden creatures alternatively mutter and scream, picking at the angry sores of concocted grievances.

The right has its own version of ideological purity. And, make no mistake, the mob will wage siege and clamor for the cancellation of anyone who speaks against the new orthodoxy — “Trump for president,” “abandon Ukraine,” and “destroy the villainous FBI,” to name just a few. The spirit of the censorious left has gained new ground in the precincts of the right. Reason provides no safe harbor. It’s all pitchforks and blazing torches.
Dialogue is impossible with this sort. The ideological right obediently plug their ears and close their eyes, while their brains congeal in a toxic bath of slogans, quips, bromides, and uninformed punditry podcasted by the terabyte. The transformation of many on the right has been breathtaking to witness. And, its becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish their rhetoric from BLM and ANTIFA elements, which they formerly so strenuously denounced. Redirected at the FBI, the same mindless chants for defunding the police now rise in their throats —holy ideolouges, the useful idiots of our nation’s foreign and domestic adversaries.
Last week, the House voted to allocate $300 million to provide a portion of funding for a new FBI headquarters building. Estimates for the entire building project top $3 billion. Seventy Republicans voted to approve the spending measure, sidelining a proposal sponsored by Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to deny funding for the project. Rep. Gaetz took to X and posted, “Those in the J. Edgar Hoover Building should sit in that rat-infested building until they get their act straight.” I think it’s safe to infer that Rep. Gaetz feels that HQ employees deserve to sit in a rat-infested building. The building is, in fact, rat-infested and crumbling. Netting has been installed, covering portions of the facade to prevent chunks of concrete from impacting the sidewalks below.
