      There are reasonable points behind political view point, even ones that you or I might disagree with

      The right's problem in the modern day is that they've replaced their Dick Cheneys and Collin Powells and Bill Kristols with a bunch of YouTube / TPUSA dorks just looking to max out their presence on social media rather than execute on any kind of coherent policy project.

      Dick Cheney could sit down on Meet The Press and say very serious things and get the host to nod sagely while questioning him on the finer points of how to make imperialism work.

      Milo Yanipenis isn't allowed to post on Twitter.

      Not a coincidence that the PNAC kids from the 90s/00s have mostly changed their stripes, rebranding as Moderate Democrats. If you want the real serious-person fascism, you're not going to find it coming out of the clown college of the Republican Party.

        There's a point in here about how the left post-Bernie is hamstringing itself with a habit of attacking anyone who gets successful enough to be taken seriously.
