The Toddler-in-chief strikes again.

As always, I just wonder if it’s a pose or a delusion.

In much the same way that the Zionists have characterized any criticism of Israel as antisemitism, Democrats have characterized any criticism of themselves as “both sides.” And it’s for the same reason in both cases – so they can reject criticism out of hand rather than facing up to it.

For the professionals, it’s simple, if loathsome - they get to feed at the money trough as long as they can continue to essentially pose as leftists but not really accomplish anything (since anything truly leftist would be at odds with the desires of the people and corporations who are keeping the money trough full).

For the rest though - the rank and file that just repeat the cant they’re fed - what do they gain?

I’ve never been quite clear on that, but I assume it’s that their self-images are wrapped up in the labels they wear, and one of those labels is “Democrat,” and it only works as a boon to their self-images if it can’t be criticized.

I can’t see how that can be worth it though.

Good luck. You’re going to need it.

Being ineffective at stopping something isn’t the same thing as enabling.

Lol.

You’ve got your fingernails dug into a hair-thin crack here.

You might do well to stand back a bit and ask yourself why you’re so desperate to absolve the Democrats of blame.

I think they’re analogous to people who would stand and watch a stoning, then congratulate themselves on not having thrown any rocks themselves.

The Toddler-in-chief.

It doesn’t get much more Musk than, "I polled the racists and they said racism is okay, so racism is okay "

I can do a spot-on impression of the standard deep, booming monster-truck rally advertising voice.

“This FRIDAY! (Friday… Friday…) Only at the Gigantodome! Beer Swiller Productions presents MONSTER TRUCK MAYHEM! You’ll pay for the entire seat but you’ll only need the EDGGGGGGGGE!”

Well… of course you can’t hear it, but if you could, seriously, it’s dead-on.

This is a coup.

I sincerely expect future historians (if there are any) to have a specific name for this particular period in American history - something like “The idiot Age” or “The Faceplant Years.”
