Yeah, it weirds me out. Almost uncanny valley feeling

Part of me hopes that other countries that have also had some populist fascist groups making waves recently would see how bad we've fucked up and not go down the same path. But we sure as hell didn't seem to learn anything from Brexit about isolationism

I think the sentiment is that, by allowing the administration to continue making blunders, they are helping the democratic party in the long-term, but people are being hurt in the short-term.

I understand that their hands are tied, but a large swath of the public is furious and want their fury to be echoed by their representatives.

All that said, you could say pretty much the same thing happened from the maga pov back in 2012, and that's how we got into this mess.
