Yes. One of the most powerful drivers of elite political discourse right now is wishful thinking: We don't want what's happening to be happening, so we make up a story in which it in less bad and more fixable than it is.

All very understandable but it is false and not helping!

There is almost nothing in Tolkien as pervasive as his love for the small and vulnerable, for the meek and the gentle. These are not the values of these thugs and they do not have any claim to them.

If you in any way think holding democrats to an impossible standard, and refusing to ever give them any credit under any circumstances, and outright lying about them on a regular basis, is bad, you are “blue MAGA.”

Whatever dems are doing is wrong. Whatever dems aren’t doing is obviously right, but will become bad and proof of incompetence and corruption if they start doing it. If there’s no way to argue what they’re doing is bad, they’re not doing it, or you forced them to do it, or it’s the bare minimum.

It reveals the lie “the Democrats are a right wing party compared to Europe”
