sign language or loud voices. The GOP and MSM are good at confusing the issue and making everything GRAY and subjective, taking on one outrage at a time and just leaving it unresolved and without context. It is clearly out of bounds and not a good look for us, however...

In reality, MSM and pundits and journalists are missing (intentionally?) the biggest and most important story...most actions and expressions from this administration are of the same piece, the same stance, the same message, the same big picture with the same motivations.

DEHUMANIZATION

Not just dehumanization of ship-wrecked survivors...but of protestors (tear-gassed or assaulted and/or jailed), immigrants (criminal or otherwise), democrats, assimilated Somalis, Afgans who helped the US in the middle east, political opponents, women generally, trans or queer persons (no gender claims on passports other than M/W), those who need social safety nets, Ukrainians, etc etc

Only those who are sociopaths lacking in empathy or morals can do all of this and it's about time MSM links all these news items together. It is much harder for Scott Jennings, Fox, Megan, and the rest to defend an overall big picture case than individual actions....and voters need to see the forest more than each tree (though voter power is diminishing each day).
