It's not just a shift in widespread cultural values, but also Democrats (1) not responding to Right-Wing attacks until after the moment has passed, (2) Not responding at all to Right-Wing attacks because we're better than that BS, and (3) the morally bankrupt Blue Republicans and Red Democrats like Gavin Newsom in a race to the bottom.

When did America become a place where people take joy in suffering? Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified school children, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance ― what happened to basic human decency?

www.linkedin.comThey played you for a fool. No one’s going to come out and say it… | Hussein Hallak | 1,112 commentsThey played you for a fool. No one’s going to come out and say it plainly, so I will. The scandal isn’t that they used an unsecured app. The scandal is that YOU trusted they were the best, the brightest. That they had your back. That they were restoring competence, protecting freedom, defending the country. But these aren’t competent people. These are the dumbest, most self-serving cowards to ever hold power in a modern democracy. They’re not just betting you’re dumb, they’re betting you’ll stay that way. They handed war plans to a journalist by accident!!! Real-time details of airstrikes!!!! I'm running out of emojis and exclamation points here!!!!! Then they denied it. Lied. Blamed someone else. Blamed the journalist. Blamed the press. Blamed the Atlantic. And now they want you to believe it wasn’t even a big deal. But it was. It is. This wasn’t a mistake by a staffer. This was the top national security officials of a U.S. administration exposing American soldiers, leaking classified data, and celebrating death in emoji-laden chats like it was fantasy football. And instead of being fired, they’re being protected. Why? Because this regime isn’t run by patriots. It’s run by grifters in suits, backed by billionaires, feeding you propaganda while they siphon off power, destroy institutions, and call it "efficiency." They’re firing veterans and career public servants while keeping clowns who violate your trust. They think you’ll swallow the next lie, and the next one, and the one after that. That you’ll argue over flags and pronouns while they steal everything not nailed to the floor. They’re claiming to save taxpayer money while giving billionaires tax cuts and private companies control over public assets, your assets. They are not making government more efficient. They are looting it. They are not protecting your future. They are playing roulette with it. They’re not smarter than you. Not better. Just more shameless. So stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Stop thinking this is about left or right. This is about the powerful believing they’re untouchable. Because the real scandal isn’t their mistake. It’s that they looked you in the eye, did it anyway, expected you to shut up, say thank you, and go about binging your next Netflix show. WAKE UP. SPEAK UP. OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. | 1,112 comments on LinkedIn
