So much focus on the idea that the ICE crackdown is a distraction from the Epstein files makes me wonder if it isn’t the other way around-get people to focus on the idea of a cover up that they don’t resist a fascist takeover as effectively as they otherwise might.

    I’m trying to maintain optimism that this current extreme escalation is the flailing death throes of a generation raised into bigotry and self-aggrandization, and that we’ll come out the other side of this being a better society (the younger generations today are so much more openly altruistic and progressive on the whole).

    Well, I don’t fault you for any of it. This part will require vigorously investigating, rooting out our liberal narrative, and reeducating ourselves.
