President Donald Trump’s attempt to deport pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil marks one of Trump’s most egregious assaults on democratic liberties since taking office. Yet too many Democrats, particularly in party leadership, are responding to Trump in the most mealymouthed way possible. But this is a problem of Democrats’ own making: Their trepidation stems from their own history of repressing speech critical of Israel — and now we’re all at risk of paying the price for it.
Democrats are the greater evil in this case, Republicans are openly vocal in their intents so we know what to expect from them. Democrats vocally oppose Republican actions, but end up supporting them and throwing their hands up claiming they were defenseless. Theyve turbo changed their ratchet effect the last several years.
Greater evil? One is being evil and the other is overly pragmatic.
Which is exactly how you wanted it to happen. Just fuck off, we don’t need the grief on the way down.
Was there another option?
