You’re a liar. No Democratic candidate or leader has “mourned the loss” of Soleimani. I’m a conservative Republican that used to be an avid fan of yours. Now, I can’t even respect you, much less vote for you. Sick of all the casual & conscious lying. It’s disqualifying. https://t.co/PnOdVTHB4V— Heath Mayo (@HeathMayo) January 7, 2020
Going unmentioned here is the line-drawing: "Democrat," not "Democratic." Used to be that kind of insult was reserved for the fringes of white supremacists and reactionary conservatives. Now it's mainstream and not even the subject of attention.
But the intent is clear: you are with us, or you are with the enemy. This is an old and long streak in American politics, and it hasn't gotten any less ugly.
