    Aren’t these the same guys who use to say “If you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to fear.”?

      Yes, but then Jan 6 happened and the FBI spent the last 3 years going after the rioters.

      I’ve heard a lot of people say “If you’ve got nothing to hide you’ve got nothing to fear” but not one of them is willing to give me their email and social media passwords so I can publish the contents.

      It’s one of those things that’s OK until it isn’t.

      We neocons, along with the DNC, lost our minds in the wake of 9/11. We’ve since reevaluated the implications of much of what we greenlit back then. Sadly, at this point it’s too little, too late.

        I’ve literally never seen someone self-identify as a neocon before. I don’t intend that as a loaded statement if it sounds that way; I’m legitimately surprised.

          MAGA didn’t exist until more than a decade after 9/11
