Just saw a post screenshotting this & saying they’d unfollowed me over it. Some Dems are responding well, but some aren’t and the base is clearly mad about it. There will be primary challenges, and just like AOC in 2018, a few of them will be successful. So … sorry for saying that out loud?

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.
