You're right about the more likely outcome, but a permanent stain on America's history? Blue on black.

If they've officially left, does that mean nobody would notice if they disappeared?

So if Fuentes gets the Kirk treatment, how do you think the media will rehabilitate his reputation?

There are certain pathogens that are so virulent that we only have two recourses: prophylaxis and quarantine. To take any middle ground is so grossly negligent that it can be considered complicity in the pathogen's spread.
Rabies is one example. Nick Fuentes is another.

Americans. HATE. Women.
Not like they hate brown people or immigrants, that's more explicitly rooted in fear.
Americans have bone-deep contempt for women. The proof of this is that they twice chose the worst caricature of every American vice as their leader over a woman.

If this is the GOP now, then STOP negotiating with them like they're the GOP of old! Be brutally obstructive, destroy EVERYTHING they care about, go to goddamn war! Don't let them do anything between now and November. Have some sort of effect, you milquetoast effete!

Most people's foremost principle is survival. Only saints and martyrs put other principles first. In this country, not being employable risks your survival. Unless you populate the press corps with a stream of independently wealthy reporters, no one will say anything that puts themselves at risk.

It's the last refuge of desperate cowards. "Don't hurt me, it wasn't my fault, it was all them, hurt them instead!"

This is the nature of American conservatism. It's not principled, it's reactionary and partisan, hierarchical and tribal. I don't know if it was ever anything else, but it's been this way at least since the 70s.

He's an accessory to murder after the fact, given that he made sure Pretti's murderer fled the state. He shouldn't be allowed to fade into obscurity, he should be tried, convicted, and emprisoned.
It's more than he deserves, more than the thousands of people kidnapped by ICE under his watch got.

Is this a serious question? Power's first duty is to justify and protect itself. Law enforcement derives its power from the state's monopoly on violence. If that power is not tempered by the duty to protect and serve (e.g., in a country corrupted by racism, sexism, and individualism), you get this.

There is no contradiction because the fundamental difference is that they do not believe in universal principles. Everything is partisan. It's all tribal. It's laws for thee, not for me.
What side you are on is the defining context for the application of law. It's thoroughly consistent.

That 3rd thing is one of the problems with so much of corporate culture. The pathological fetishization of growth, at all costs. It's cancerous.

I can't think of a greater indictment of our culture than this. "A BLACK district attorney?!" "A MUSLIM lieutenant governor?!"
