Dark Helmet said it best.

"... evil will always triumph because good is dumb."

The worst part about this, besides all the other parts, is that the Biden administration is defending against this, like "Nuh-uh, We don't even have a liberal agenda!"

I wish Biden was the progressive that conservatives pretend he is.

I vote for the party that wants to protect abortion rights. It would take quite a lot for me to vote for any anti-abortion Republican. I think Trump-level disrespect for democracy from the hypothetical Democrat would be enough to change my vote, but I'm not sure some people I know would vote for the Republican even then. Would expecting Republicans to vote for Biden be a double standard in this context?

(What this doesn't explain is why Trump was so overwhelmingly popular in the primaries.)

Because Barr also wants to be bale to execute his own rivals, I guess.

I wonder, could it be a method for him to tell right wingers how awful Trump is and not get dismissed outright. It is probably helping more people hear the truth than would have.

Those Germans who would do anything, be anything, join anything to stop Bolshevism had, in the end, to be Nazis. And Nazism did stop Bolshevism. How it stopped Bolshevism, with what means and what consequences, did not matter—not enough, at least, to alienate them. None of its shortcomings, mild or hideous, none of its contradictions, small or calamitous, ever swayed them. To them, then and now, Nazism kept its promise.

Fascism is always a right-wing reactionary movement against leftists.

Whatever you do, never question what J. Edgar Hoover's COINTELPRO division was up to during the serial murder of black civil rights leaders in the 1960s. Don't question how similar disappearances and slayings occurred during Iraq War protests, the BLM protests, and appear to be happening again during the Palestine protests. Ignore the LA Sheriff's Gangs that operate independently of city government and the mass privatization of police forces in Detroit, Miami, and Atlanta. Don't google who Allen Dulles was or what he spent his career doing (and definitely don't question where he was or what he was doing in November of 1963). Don't ask who Bill Barr's dad is or question why he hired a a very young, very unqualified Jeffrey Epstein to teach at one of the most elite private schools in the country.

Don't ask what the 1994 Crime Bill had to do with the rise in mass incarceration. Don't ask who sponsored that bill. Don't question who wrote large sections of the Patriot Act and lobbied for their passage even before 9/11. Don't think about PRISM or question how the US Congress responded to its outing.

Just fixate on the Big Cheeto who wants to be back in the White House.

Our status as a fascist nation has nothing to do with our long history of police brutality and state surveillance. It has nothing to do with the structure of business or the anti-democratic judicial and senatorial systems that decide our laws. It certainly has nothing to do with the Military Industrial Complex and the continuous need for cheap labor at home and abroad.

Its just this one weird guy who might return to the White House. Everything else is fine.

Is anyone surprised that Bill Barr is an actual nazi?

The problem is that all the people inside the right-wing media bubble don't know he's as bad as people are afraid he is. Because they're regularly lied to.
