Wild to think if Dems let this man lead the party Trump never would’ve been President

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.

Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.

The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.

If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.

The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.

What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.

Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.

The assassin memes and the story is great and I like posting about it, but on a serious note, my dad willingly let himself die rather than fight with insurance. He knew he would’ve gone entirely destitute seeking the level of care he needed with the insurance available to him. So he just gave up. And he died.

It’s personal for me. It’s personal for millions. You post and pretend you don’t grasp the delight people find in watching those upholding the system that allowed people we love to die… die.

May seem extremely morbid and fucked up to you but I need you to understand I don’t care at all.

For my dad. For others dads. For all of us.

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.

A very timely reminder.

This is what a genocidal monster looks like.
