who knew what trump would do to marginalized groups is weaponizing white privilege. The sanctimonious stance of these people made them easy marks for Russian propaganda. When one desires to crush opposition rather than engage in enlightening debate, it is easy to seize any and every arrow in the quiver without questioning whether it is rational, responsible, or even sane.

That Molly Hodgdon quote is spot on. Thanks for the post JHan.
