If anyone gets a thank-you note from President Biden for helping get him out of a jam in recent days, it should probably be former President Donald J. Trump.
Just when Mr. Biden was swamped by unwelcome questions about his age, his predecessor and challenger stepped in, rescuing him with an ill-timed diatribe vowing to “encourage” Russia to attack NATO allies that do not spend enough on their militaries.
The stunner from Mr. Trump over the weekend not only drew attention away from the president’s memory problems, as detailed in a special counsel report, but also provided a convenient way for Mr. Biden’s defenders to reframe the issue: Yes, they could now say, the incumbent may be an old man who sometimes forgets things, but his challenger is both aging and dangerously reckless.
Mass protests in front of the White House. Everyone writing and calling the White House and their representatives every day saying “not in our name”. Joining BDS. Boycotting AIPAC and similar Israeli government agencies. Giving to and volunteering for Red Crescent and other charities trying to help Palestinians directly. Doing the same with NGOs like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch who work to expose and disseminate the truth about atrocities committed all over the world.
Anything but the current strategy:

So you’re not allowed to criticize something unquestioningly reprehensible that someone who’s supposed to represent all Americans to the left of fascism is doing without also providing a laundry list of how to change his abhorrent behavior without electing a fascist?
That’s gatekeeping dissent and to an outsider, it’s near-identical to the Trump cult in terms of the cult of personality aspect specifically.

Right back at you, buddy! 🙄

I admit nothing of the sort. I was referring to the latter part, not the completely baseless accusation part.

Nope, that’s still you. Run along, now.
