We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp.
Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists.
Make it make sense.

moral bankruptcy is rampant among dems.
Go on you, Fascist
At least I don’t have to post that you follow Will Stancil

Give progressive Dems a chance, and make @governor.ca.gov and the likes become irrelevant.
@democrats.org approval rating is abysmal. The party needs a shake down.
The Dems joining Red Hat won't be missed.
Our change is No More Vulture Capitalism
BERNIE, AOC and LOTS of others ARE driving the change. The parties have fractured, there's a new game in town and what you see is the birth of something new
You never know who is on your side until you're in the thick of it. For perspective both cops and anarchists fought side by side against Franco's fascists during the Spanish civil war.
People aren't always who you think they are, many aren't who they think they are.
Hemmingway had a good quote about this: “There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes.”
Round ‘em up!
Bill Kristol has actually held beliefs - beliefs he has pursued his entire adult life, and which have been entirely betrayed by the GOP, so he left them
I may not agree with many of Kristol's beliefs, but he is at least sincere in them
Newsom is not
Pigs must be flying all over the place tonight.
“Spirit of Patrick Henry, to me!!”

Politicians with no principals are getting exposed.
He's a much of a Democrat as Tulsi Gabbard was, only claiming it as a matter of political convenience.
Republicans view politics as the foundation of society
We can do better
It’s funny because MAGA is right-wing Maoism at this point.
I said to Brooks:
“WELCOME LOKI !” 😳😳
For the record, the normal people outside not terminally online don't give a shit who invites Charlie "Fruitcake" Kirk into which podcast. Simply irrelevant.
Newsom is falling into the trap of moving to the right. Such a shift alienates the progressive base and helps the Republican opponent by activating and reinforcing the conservative worldview in people’s brains.
She’s getting heat for That pic of her, hiding her face
She was hoodwinked into that photo op, never intended for that to take place
Bad pic that will leave a mark
But I hope we don’t kill her for it
She is the real deal
The party in name will survive, but I am voting hard in the primary.
it starts and stops there

“dear friends, welp, we’ll give it to you straight, the nazis are back, won’t you give”
You look at Democrats and see many different approaches and hear different voices.
Republicans act in constant fear of retribution.
Democrats are free.
Embrace internal differences.
Dr King was right
It’s easier to move a Klanner over to racial Justice (and the left) than it is a white liberal
The Klanner is already radicalized
They just radicalized in the wrong direction
White liberals on the other hand care more about maintaining the status Quo and order than freedom
...and its David Brooks quoting the Communist Manifesto!?
wait a minute, I'll get the whiteboard.
Newsom failed to fix the homeless problem in California. Now he wants to run for president.
There are a ton of moderates out there who have rolled their eyes for years at the idea that Trump is a fascist
Then one day their smug normative framework shatters and they realize "holy shit, he IS a fascist!" as it all hits them at once
That whiplash creates radicals

Let's see if we can get free and fair elections this year and next year first.
But I think they are wrong
It's just awful.
Regardless, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but they are a convenience of war. We will settle our differences later.
The ally of my enemy will be dealt with.
Remember when he advocated for gay marriage because he thought Republicans emphasized marriage as the foundation of the family unit?
There is such a thing as queer-inclusive conservatism that stresses monogamous couples in general as the foundations of families.
It's not obvious because we don't think of this position as conservative, but it definitely can be.
-Californian
Some don't.
In times of trouble, we see who rises to the fight and who flees from it.
A lot walked out when the mises caucas took over the LP. But I haven't heard from any of them.
I'm autistic and even I know how to read the room better than that.
Liberals and conservatives (in theory) have principles.
Fascists don’t.
“But they couldn’t have prevented the conformation” I don’t give a shit. Doesn’t give them the green light to support fascists.
If they held those views as principles, they would be up in arms against what Trump is doing and protesting loudly.
billy kristol was a good person when you polish his rough exterior, i s'pose, while newsom was a turd clothed in silk
… yeah, okay, a W is a W. I mean, my brain hurts now, but fuck it. I guess I agree with Bill Kristol.
… wow that’s so weird to type.
