Thing is, it’s normal for people to be appalled by massacres and genocide. The unusual thing is people making excuses for it, propagandising to help it continue and cheering it on. Thats the thing that’s crazy and despicable here.

“It’s a wild claim of executive authority…It is usurping Congress’s authority over the use of military force.”

Whole Mar-a-Lago set up and ambience is so desperately dated, and trying to resurrect the cocaine 70s/80s.
A scream of petulance as these rich boomers claw at the lives they lost decades ago.

This is why I push back against those who try to convince themselves that the left doesn't have a "Nazi problem." To the extent that you are organizing anywhere that nazis live, you have a Nazi problem.
Your movement is not your ideals, it is your people. Your people are not immune to nazism.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.
