She gets it. This is much bigger than an individual and much bigger that what is happening here in the U.S. A lot of countries are dealing with the rise of the authoritarian bigoted right. We are at an apex of a global phenomena that has being going on for decades. Europe has dealt with fascism before, so I think they’ll eventually get back on course for Democracy. Not sure about America.
“Hitler can stay or go, but removing him won’t…” etc and so on.
FFS, AOC, RISE UP TO THE FUCKING EMERGENCY.
It’s not inconsequential that Kraznov and Elmo might be replaced by people with the same fucking goals or ideals, it’s that not every fucking Nazi wields or can wield the same fucking power.
No, they might be replaced by more competent Nazis (eyes the couchf@cker waiting in the wings).
It’s good that she’s setting the benchmark as not simply removing Trump (nature will take care of that eventually). It’s about dismantling the party that enabled Trump the entire time.
The other side is all “They’re gonna cut your kid’s dick off if you vote for them, and you won’t know until He comes home from school one day as a She”.
“Both-sides” is a convenient discounting of the stakes here.
Yeah, I need people, especially future leaders like AOC, putting the stakes as stark as they are, not discounting and pretending that Kraznov ain’t an existential threat, while a replacement with the exact same ideological goals may not be.
Prioritization of effort.
Or do I need to come out and finally fucking run the place.
To continue to be collegial, then, I need you to do us a favor.
Leak the pee tape and we’ll call it even.
Leak the full Kraznov file, I will buy you two cases of beer, have a full evening out on the town in Berlin with you, and buy the young ladies (or men, no judging) for the night for you.
