Tell me that you don’t know how any of this works, without telling me you don’t know how any of this works.

Doubling down on your gaslighting is what I've come to expect.

You think that being apolitical is a bad thing?

I think garland wasn't apolitical. And I think justice would have been apolitical if democrats weren't garbage cowards at all times who live to capitulate to fascists.

In this case, the very reason why Garland was the right pick, made him the wrong pick.

He was the right pick for centrists who didn't want to pursue justice at all and never fucking will.

But, you would rather Democrats undermine the Justice Department the same way Trump does, because you secretly approve of Trump’s methods. Does that sum it up?

Confirming someone who won't pursue justice because you're scared that doing so might upset the republicans whose approval you will do anything for isn't trumpist. Stop accusing anyone who doesn't love how useless democrats are of being a trumper.

You just wish Democrats were more like him…right?

I wish they were less like him. You just want them to adopt his policies while being polite about it.
