If you acted like that, people would come down hard on you and you’d start talking about all the stuff “you’re not allowed to say” how anyone who talks about it gets smeared as a Nazi, the guilt by association tactics that somehow don’t apply to Soviet fellow travelers etc — PolitiTweet.org

You could imagine someone spending 1943 obsessed with FDR’s refusal to come clean about the extent to which his own policies provoked the attack on Pearl Harbor, the hypocrisy of the Europe First strategy when it was Japan that attacked us, Jim Crow, Stalin, etc — PolitiTweet.org
