“The general MAGA reaction that Pretti and Good got what was coming to them is telling about how Republican politics in America has descended into a form of right-wing Leninism. After a man is flat-out murdered in the streets, on his knees, they reply, ‘But hey, look how the victim kicked off a $65 tail light on a police cruiser last week!’ How, even if you feel very strongly about enforcing federal immigration laws, does that even enter into the conversation in a rational world intent on keeping government within its constitutional boundaries? It’s a lot like a woman getting raped and all people on the sidelines afterward can talk about is how she had been caught shoplifting the week before. It’s entirely beside the point.” (02/24/26)
