Where is the opposition to this deranged autocrat? Where is “the resistance”? Who among American leadership is pushing back against this obvious war crime? Where are the fiery condemnations from the Democratic Party against this promised atrocity? Where is the American media? Why have they abandoned even the pretense of moral responsibility to tell the truth about what is happening in this country? How has this failed businessman, this reality-TV personality, cowed an entire generation of politicians, pundits, journalists, businessmen, soldiers, and intellectuals?
Every major institution in the United States seems unwilling or unable to resist. That isn’t just weakness; it’s complicity.
Libs may look down on Hegseth and Trump openly exulting in terrorism and mass murder, but they were complicit in the exact same violence when it was presented to them as humanitarian intervention in Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Only the most superficial optics have changed.
