I recall a time when George Bush said “if you’re not with us, you’re against us” with no sense of irony as a democratic leader. Same shitty authoritarian mindset on display here
Ibram Kendi says the same thing about “anti-racism.” “If you’re not with us you’re against us.” It’s interesting how authoritarians stoke hate no matter their cause.
