    Hitler said in Mein Kampf, that the weaponized dishonor of Nazism forced his opponents to “act like we do” as their only recourse.

    Be careful what you wish for.

      Yeah I’ve thought about that before. I mean as gratifying as it would feel to get a big victory for the progressives, I suspect opening the door to such behavior on the left only normalizes it for all govt and creates a point where there’s no going back. Suddenly govt is corrupt beyond redemption.
