Straight out of the dictators' manual.
Chavez did that early in his tenure.

She should have a chat with Candace Owens.

And let's not forget that Usha Vance was attacked by some on the right.

I wonder if people understand that voicing support for Palestine or not approving of what the government of Israel does, does not mean you are against Jewish people.
I think that is her confusion with the people of the left.

Jewish people, the people of Israel, the people of Gaza/Palestine, the governmental State of Israel, and Hamas are five completely different things. If people haven't figured that out, then they should not comment on the matter. Period.

The capitulation by whom? Tiny? The GOP (yielding to Tiny)? Or the dems?
Real question. I am confused.

Gerrymandering explained, from people that know dictators.
Gerrymandering happens when the dictator wants it, because that way they remain in power as long as they want and if you don't like it, TOO (expletive) BAD.

These people are not understanding how dictatorships work.
