It hasn’t occurred overnight. It’s been coming for a long time and those that haven’t recognized what’s been going on now for a few years are either incapable of noticing a sea change or are willfully ignorant. What I’m referring to is the idea that words are violence and criticizing someone because of what they’ve said or done is inciting violence against that person. We’ve just heard this explicitly from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) when defending her fellow democrat, Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over a statement made in a speech where she referred to what happened on September 11, 2001, as some people did something.
I’ve been reading a lot in the past few days, mostly outrageby the way, of how the Russian government is responsible fo thehacking of the DNC as well as the private emails of John Podesta, among others. It’s bizzare to me that, without any actual proof, I see story after story, and hear various pundits (and reporters!) on TV claim that sources in the CIA have said that the Russian government is responsible.
