I’m not sure what the phrase “fake outrage” would actually mean, but the outrage I feel seems pretty real to me.

    Just another log on the fire. People will rabble rabble, his party will frown and furrow their brows, and nothing will happen. He knows this 100% and it’s why he’ll continue to do it. To make matters worse, he’s got a team that will spin the story and not even bat an eye.

      They are starting to lose support and the backtracking shows that. As much as it seems they are getting away with literal murder, they are coming under increasing pressure as more people’s eyes are opened.

      Keep calling them out, keep pushing. The more we accept it, the more they normalize it. One more log on a trumpster fire burns brighter for a bit but the whole thing goes eventually.

      The fact that unified outrage changes their course should tell us all to stop being complacent and despondent. We can change this.
