13. I am disappointed that my point was lost

It isn't about Leni Riefenstahl per se. It is about what Bartlett said, but even more my post is about the importance of speaking out.

Bartlett was a "supply side" dumbass but he has repented. I'll give him that and perhaps by deleting his tweet he realized that resistance is about more than cost.

And too I very much liken #fakepresident to Hitler. Leni probably wasn't about to speak out against Adolf although there is some disagreement as to her commitment. But that is beside the point. Had she spoken out against his military parades she would likely be dead before her time, but that would be one more resister. And we would not have Triumph of the Will, which would be ok with me.

Remember Godwin's Law? Perhaps #fakepresident's greatest achievement has been to relegate that norm to the scrap heap.
