Just a thing with me. I would focus more of my attention on my friend beating his partner than the guy down the street I knew/expected had that evil in him. That's just the way I am. Maybe that's tribal and judgemental in itself, but I lean that way; I feel the most betrayal from those closest to me. In that vein, I reserve the most blame for our decent into pending Christo-fascism for the Supposed Centrists of the Blob who tacked right, triangled, both-sided, hippie punched, over-trusted the neo-fascists, and sold us all down the river.
Let's make a list of the most guilty "Reasonable Centrists of the Washington Court" who helped seal our current state.
I'll start:
Bill Clinton
Thomas Friedman
Maurine Dowd
Camille Paglia
David Broder
Please add to this list in comments.
Thank you, and Namaste.
