Mental gymnastics on full display
I wish one day we can look back at all this like we do with McCarthyism. But I'm also really concerned we won't
That is part of the problem. You view McCarthyism as a lesson in inhumanity, they view it as a a stepping stone to get what they want.
This goes for every lesson "progressives" think society has learned. Take Vietnam. A lesson in why we shouldn't kill civilians. For them, a lesson in how to keep the public insulated from war.
To say they are garbage people is really too kind.
