I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Patel is an unqualified extremist who probably perjured himself, receives money from Russia & China, and has made clear he will weaponize the FBI to pursue Trump's political enemies. The only Trump appointee who did not make is Gaetz, seemingly for being an insufficiently loyal Republican.

Worse than appeasement. Appeasement is making concessions under threat, hoping that will avoid war (which is usually naive; they'll demand more). After 3 years of war and a million casualties, it's not appeasement. Trump is trying to help Russia's aggression achieve what Russia's military could not.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.
