1. Who better to know about "these people" than an aging white guy?

2. Can't watch. But sure of the content.

He’s an expert on not caring about any people.

4. Was this at Hillsdale College yesterday? Hillsdale College is the biggest threat to democracy of

any educational institution (if you can call it that) in the country. It's a goddamned disgrace and I'm ashamed it's in Michigan.

5. Yes... and I am ashamed, too!

It is a conservative hellscape.

6. The fact that Bill Barr is still the AG...

...is an indictment on all of us in this country.
Barr has set himself up as the enforcer AND interpreter of laws that he alone chooses.
He would have done well in Nazi Germany or Vichy France - or the USA in 2020.
God help us.

7. Just like this so-called "president" has no interest in being the actual President?

Or least not of people who didn't vote for him.

His statement is functionally-equivalent to "The Revolutionary War was neither revolutionary, nor a war, discuss" (And then he uses the cover of that discussion to disenfranchise people.)
