I've read a bit more about these comments by Omar, and
man HO, either intentionally or not, this TDS nonsense spewing from you and TK is near top of list bullshit even by this board's standards. Trump is the only reason we're talking about this! Whatever Omar's intent really was (she claims she was trying to critique sweeping generalizations about Muslims emanating from 9/11), we're only aware of it because Trump tweeted, and did so with his well-practiced propaganda flourish of interspersing her comments with imagery of the tragedy on 9/11. Trump has everything to do with this! This is pure Trumpism!
Trumpies are ridiculous. Either willing participants with him in his demagoguery, or just brainwashed dupes - I'm not sure which is worse. Trump gets to say anything to his cult following with impunity. It's bad enough that they try to get on their high horse and complain when other pols do the same thing, but this is ridiculous even for Trumpies. They manufactured the outrage themselves.
Trumpism is the most noxious force to hit American politics in my lifetime, and it's competing for the lead in all of American history. 30%+ of Americans are going batshit crazy. Way beyond simple derangement.
