I still can't get over Biden telling everyone who isn't Marjorie Taylor Green to " cool it down" while Marjorie Taylor Green exists with her fleet of roid rage blitzkrieg Karen's to immediately destroy any ceasefire, and the Trumpreich has a long history of mocking the attacked, injured, deceased and disabled in cruel ways for political gains. Trump ignored his wounded and dead supporters and went golfing.
How well could anybody possibly think that would go?

You can't fight the Trump republican party by pretending to be polite while conducting a genocide. It's a cult, you're too compromised to deal with it.
You go to procedures for dealing with cults, which you might find easier to do with a president with a working brain, a bit of leadership, not some politeness twaddle coming out of a focus group, based on customer surveys and amateur psychology.
I didn't like Winston Churchill, but sometimes I get what it was like for him to watch Chamberlain

Two wings of an empire highlighting their distinctiveness, yet not really fighting in earnest.
Yup, that's an oligarchy. At this point I'm fairly convinced the successive shifts of democrat and republican presidents in office, evidenced by shift-right are all an intended control method to get society exactly where oligarchy wants it. A collaborative erosion of democracy. Complete with all the risks of a fascist takeover that brings.

You have an oligopolistic class that wants a country how it wants it, that state is a level of corporate control an ass hairs breadth from neofascism, and when that completes, everything that facilitated it in place, there really is nothing to stop the fascists taking over. Some oligarchs will make the conversion, others will have their wealth taken from them by physical force and edict.
Their addicts money games, competition they thrive on, their destruction of democracy, takes us to war.

Of all the points of distinction one could highlight, weakness, a low resistance to fascism, a demonstration of how backfooted one can be to fascism, is not the one I would have chosen.
Poorly timed isn't the word.
Common decency is great and all that, but can someone wake the fuck up and pass the milkshake howitzer?

Does anybody realise that simply not being like someone isn't enough to defeat them? It's obviously the wrong metric, too lateral, too disconnected from causality, really doesn't begin to address the winning of battles.
Fine. You're distinct, but can you fight? " I'm not with these people" is bystander talk. You a bystander? You got somewhere to be? This not home soil?
A buffalo doesn't tell the lion it's not a lion, the lion knows the taste, it gathers it's mates and tramples the bastard.
