Not only have Democrats (I won't say 'liberals', because I *am* one of those, and this is wildly illiberal) become unprincipled, I'm not sure that they know what a principle is, or have any care at all about seeming to adhere to any. I hate this situation, but the truly despicable thing is that no one other than Glenn seems to have any concern about it. People need to stop being concerned about Glenn going on Fox and start being concerned that it's the only outlet that will give him voice.

I'm sadly not surprised. The Dems have been projecting Fascism onto Trump and his supporters, but in true totalitarian style the Dems needed a scapegoat - and what does that remind one of? Hint: he had a silly mustache and used the Jews as scapegoats to create mass hysteria and militarize his country. After the 2016 election I began to see ugly behavior in people I'd thought of as liberal Democrats. I didn't vote for Trump in 2016. But when people would send me emails about Trump being a Nazi and how any day now everyone but White Supremacists would be rounded up and put in concentration camps, I started thinking uh oh. Time to leave the Democratic Party, that this was turning into mass hysteria. The feminists had their pussy hat parades, followed by MeTooing every man who'd so much as looked at them fifty years ago, not to mention the Russian Collusion. By 2018 the hysteria about Gestapo boots stomping over Dems was in full swing. When I ran into a man I know and he started ranting about Trump being Putin's Puppet I said I didn't see any evidence of it, could he point to some? He put up his hands and angrily said “If that's what you want to believe then I can't talk to you” - a phrase I'd hear over and over again. A day later got an email from him calling me anti-Semitic. I voted for Bernie in 2016. Isn't he Jewish? But it got really bad during Covid (I live in CA). You couldn't - and still can't have a reasonable conversation about whether there have been benefits from all the lockdowns. The Dems I know would accuse me of “sounding like Trump” and say “the blood is on his and your hands.” Once I made the mistake of trying to be funny and said “I didn't know Trump or I knew each other and were Wuhan lab technician. The guy slammed down - or whatever you do with a cellphone. The Dems won't rest until they've punished each and every Trump supporter or even doubter of what they now stand for. I don't think the Dem Party is aware of how their emotions are being played by larger totalitarian forces and how this military regime will eventually turn on them.
