No one actually thinks Democrats can solve everything right now, but the bar is currently “unequivocally say that federal agents gunning down innocent people in the street is wrong” and so few people are living up to it
AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

We're utterly desensitized at this point, but I still remember when the richest man in the world retweeting "white solidarity is the only way to survive" would've caused major controversy. The type of blood-curdling white nationalism we used to only see on Stormfront
