Some of you are rapidly approaching the scene in a lot of thriller movies where the detectives burst into the suspect’s house and walk into a room wallpapered with photographs and cutout news articles with pieces of string connecting them all together. That’s what gibberish like this
The reason for the hyperventilating that we’ve seen this movie before. We’ve seen police called in to move peaceful demonstrators away so the President could get a photo op holding a Bible for no particular reason at that time.
We’ve seen a border policy at its most degrading, separating infants and children from their parents, often without so much as a name tag for future rapprochement. Who countenances this?
We watched as thousands swarmed the Houses of Congress, violently vandalized the exterior, smashed windows, attacked police, and caused the death of almost a half-dozen people while the President did nothing, even as he was implored by staff and family to put an end to it with a simple tweet.
We saw his praise “good people on both sides” after demonstrators ran down and killed someone protesting actual Nazi’s in an American city.
There’s more, lots more, but if you are not concerned about the rule of law (whoda’thunk, those Law & Order Republicans!) and the specific outlines of the Heritage group and others for permanently crippling democracy, then you are not paying attention. And yet, some of the rhetoric is over the top, but the reaction is entirely understandable, in my view.
