I’m just not going to be particularly upset about this, and I also don’t share your view that if it hadn’t happened we were right on the brink of defeating fascism and this sent “the cause” some large distance backwards.

People are being kidnapped and disappeared daily. There are troops in DC and LA and they’re planning to send them to other cities. Trump is using our military to commit war crimes without so much as even a wink and a nod from congress. The only thing we’re “on the brink” of is a government sponsored domestic genocide.
