Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) demanded federal officers vacate the state after agents shot and killed a second person in Minneapolis on Saturday. “Donald Trump, I call on you once again: Remove…
Do not rely on these enabling, feckless democrats to save you. They’ve had years to prepare for this and have done nothing. Well, not nothing…they voted to increase ICE funding every single year.
Minneapolis was able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people without the help of Dems. Most of the Dems are paid for by AIPAC, the rest have been called out on their bluffs … Begging trump to do anything is the kind of narcissistic shit he loves to hear. They 👏 will 👏 not 👏 help 👏 you
All they have is the courts. But laws and court rulings only mean something if trump abides by them, which he doesn’t.
But the moral prohibition on siding with any administration that endorses genocide will force a different flavor of the exact same logic that centrist liberalism has depended on for so long: hold your nose and align with the least worst thing. Only the least worst thing will no longer be the mild, ethics-agnostic emptiness of modern Western liberalism, nor will it be the multitude of barbaric authoritarians and their secret prisons. It will be communal solidarity, or else nothing, a walking away from all of this. Countless otherwise pragmatic people who would in any other circumstance choose liberalism by default will instead decide none of this is worth the damage to one’s soul. They will instead support no one, vote for no one, wash their hands of any ordering of the world that results in choices no better than this. And the obvious centrist refrain—But do you want the deranged right wing to win?—should, after even a moment of self-reflection, yield to a far more important question: How empty does your message have to be for a deranged right wing to even have a chance of winning? Of all the epitaphs that may one day be written on the gravestone of Western liberalism, the most damning is this: Faced off against a nihilistic, endlessly cruel manifestation of conservatism, and somehow managed to make it close.
