If you support Trump you support Putin. Don’t you dare try to talk yourself out of that now.

Media figures, commentators, and social media platforms that feel the need to defend/excuse Putin because it helps their American political business model can go right to hell.

You are the bad guys now. You chose to side with evil people out of your own greed & animus. Damn you.

Because your patriotism was always conditional and skin deep. You loved the country as long as it catered to you - and only that long.

Hugh, Putin was not deterred in the Trump years. Putin had a partner in Trump, in doing damage to NATO & U.S.-Ukraine relations (dont you remember impeachment No. 1?) He was waiting for Trump's reelection. Does anyone doubt Trump would have tried to close NATOs door to Ukraine? https://t.co/hiNvX9R1Bs

We’re all Americans, Matt—& we all love the Founding. Making our politics about the false idea that some citizens are “real” Americans & some aren’t is exactly the problem in the GOP right now.

Call yourself Nationalist PAC—not CPAC. You’re about blood & soil, not ideas & truth. https://t.co/qZFahCwL19

If you find yourself equating the actions of Vladimir Putin and Justin Trudeau -- or worse, opining that Trudeau's actions are worse than Putin's -- you are an embarrassment to yourself and any movement you represent.

Entirely too much tech policy thinking these days comes down to some variant on: “The First Amendment clearly forbids directly doing X; can we come up with some clever Rube Goldberg way to do it via bankshot?” https://t.co/6yvAF3v7Hn

“That’s worse and matters more, but that doesn’t make this ok, and we can care about more than one thing at a time” was right there. But no, it had to be arresting is same as killing, opening an international border is like changing borders by military force, and other absurdity. https://t.co/B4y5MrrRGO

LOCK HER UP and LOCK HIM UP both seem to trend in response to each other every couple days on Twitter.

Imagine if that hashtag energy was focused toward an issue that would actually improve people’s lives.
