So when Cancun Cruz gave his

"momentous" (according to the media) speech about lowering the rhetoric and name calling I noticed that while the talking heads were praising him there was something noticeably absent. He said that political opponents are not Nazis. But I sure never heard the world's ugliest man add to that and say "and they are not Communists" etc. So in typical fashion supposedly we are the problem and the media loved the meme and the moment. They praised his "bravery" for speaking out. I heard it on the radio as it happened and no matter what station I tuned in it was all the same.

So we come away with the message from the media that we should stop criticizing ICE-Gestapo, stop calling people authoritarians when they do and say authoritarian things, stop calling people Nazis who do and say Nazi things etc. and generally kneel before the king. They just didn't seem to be able to find the brainpower or the guts to talk about the non-stop daily demonizing of people coming from the White House and how every time someone is targeted by the Nazi cabal they know and have been informed that person experiences an increase in death threats, doxxing and all forms of harassment. They just didn't seem to bring themselves to point that out. As for me I couldn't help but point it out.
