I think it's even simpler than this. I think any government/state/group with power wants to hold and expand it. I'm not sure there is a group of people that exist that wouldn't work to exercise control if they could. And I'm not defending the US, I just think it may be an inherently human thing to do.
So obvious how the right keeps pushing the envelope to legitimize the current wackos. MTG was Loomer, just like Dick Cheney was MTG. One day MTG will be the "respectable" repub.
When this is over, I wanna see a stat on who spoke/was on camera more. The press plays right into his hands. Asking him to clarify only gets him more speaking time. That's why he "wins" debates, because he monopolizes media time. She is doing a great job attacking him, but he gets the last word.
Right? I see all of these "appeasement" style pieces trying to get us to feel some sort of vindication. It's all bullshit.
