anyway i won't forget how 'purity testing' went from being applied to 'people mad about low student loan debt promises' to being applied to 'people mad about genocide/having their own rights considered an acceptable sacrifice'

honestly: always has been
Yelling at people about "purity tests" and the "test" is passing a bar that's on the floor
funny thing to think about is the dems won during the year with the huge police protests and people going on about no kids in cages, and the dems completely ate shit during the year they blew all this off and went as hard as they could with trying to court the 'moderate republican' vote
their views dont even make empirical sense it hurts so bad from the cognitive dissonance
so much of it is just fear response flailing turning into anger
it was really fascinating seeing how some people went from "no kids in cages" to "no listen they're only in there for a maximum of 30 days and [whatever bullshit technicalities] so it's fine" under biden lmao
The Biden admin was "working tirelessly" to release them, no doubt
I'm sure there's a lesson in there. And I'm sure a lot of establishment dems vehemently disagree with what I just said
