Likely not. I would also wonder out loud what justice the thousands of Central American children that the Biden administration has sent back to Haiti and surrounding countries plagued with violence and instability, much of it stemming from decades of US interference, will receive. Or those subject to squalid and inhumane conditions by the Biden administration's expansion of Trump's Title 42. And lest we forget the Democrat's enthusiastic endorsement of the rogue agency ICE, and their readiness to squash any notion of abolishing the unaccountable tormentor of immigrants, and their turning a blind eye to the horror stories of forced sterilization of woman as young as 21 and daily human rights abuses. Of course child separation was a brutal policy, but it was the Obama administration that built the cages that housed the Central American migrant children when Hillary Clinton went on a publicity campaign to "send them back." This racism and cruelty knows no party, it all occurs on a sickening spectrum that is excused in favor of electioneering and political expediency (and of course the relativism you practice on a daily basis).
Oh I agree, Barry. Hillary made my skin crawl, and when she talked about her good friend Kissinger that was the end for me...except the alternative was so much worse. And Obama certainly was a thundering disappointment in many ways, and I'll never forgive him for airport body scanners, though truth be told most Americans are sheep about accepting such chambers of horror. (But then they accepted the lies of the Iraq War, and shoved the whole thing under the rug when the results came out.) Look, there is a lot of money and power out there that makes political parties, half-baked excuses and posturing irrelevant, but sometimes the brutality goes beyond anything even remotely acceptable. That's what happened here. To get that high in government nobody's hands are clean of many things, but some are dirtier than others.
Of course it is a matter of degree, all this occurs along a spectrum of inhumanity, but the stage was set by the inhumanity of previous administration's including Obama/Clinton. This could not have happened without the policies and facilities they put in place. My point is that people like Thom Hartmann focus on the other party while holding the party he electioneers for virtually unaccountable. Without critical thinking there can be no pressure for change as that would come from us, and that is a far cry from the tenets of progressivism.
I've read Thom taking on the Democrats from time to time. It isn't the Democrats who are sliding us into fascism. One has to pick one's battles. I was deeply disappointed by both Clinton and Obama. That said, I was absolutely horrified and terrified of Trump and his cronies. The enemy of my enemy, in this case, is my friend - a flawed friend, but a friend.
