No, I’m not saying they’re apologists. I’m saying they aren’t doing enough to combat white nationalists. For instance, they failed to stop Trump’s bitherism conspiracy theory from spreading. If you have some suggestions for what they could do, I’d be interested in hearing them, but at this point, I think they just have to lose elections. And if you care about intervention more than domestic civil rights, that’s fine, but I also think you’ll be in for more disappointment and that your goals are more likely to be embraced by a resurgent left, but who knows? An entire generation of politicians and commentators, and their institutions, discredited themselves with the Iraq War and we are still dealing with the fallout
