The default position of the democratic coalition has to be this:
Everyone. Gets. To. Be. Free.
Everyone.
We do not throw members of our coalition to the fashy wolves.
We do not concede that some state-sanctioned bigotry is okay.
Nope.
None of that shit.
We. All. Get. To. Be. Free.
That's it.

Trump never had a fan base.
He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.

Pete Hegseth will become a byword and an inside joke at the Pentagon for as long as it remains standing.
The most boneheaded dumbfuckeries will always be referred to as "a Hegseth," as in "That corporal couldn't map his way out of the men's room with a compass and a homing beacon. What a Hegseth."

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
