    I’m sure that purging some of the most talented people working in intelligence purely due to their sexual orientstion won’t have any sort of long-term consequences.

    Sigh.

    Really annoyed they’re downshifting to “McCarthyism”.

    Yes it’s arguable, no it’s not as effective as “fascism”.

      I agree that we’re in a fascist time, but we’ve overplayed the word. Now it needs to mean “actively killing people in death camps” or something for the populous to not have their eyes glaze over with people being “dramatic.”

      A shitty situation all around.
