its embarrassing
Less embarrassing than defending authoritarian colonialist empires.
Look, capitalism, etc. are awful, but that doesn’t excuse defending authoritarian regimes. It is perfectly possible improve the lives of everyone without atrocities, and defending the people who commit those atrocities severely damages efforts to actually improve society.
Oh look another illegal power grab by the supreme dipshits. 14th amendment section 3 states only Congress may remove an insurrectionist’s inability to hold office, not SCOTUS.
