15. You've missed the point entirely

The point is this:

By accepting without question, critique or examination the “blame Garland instead of SCOTUS” CT narrative, Democrats’ capacity to effectively resist and hold accountable the incoming Trump administration is significantly weakened.

As Marcy says in her article, I could give a flying fuck about Merrick Garland.

It’s the abandonment of fact based reality that offends me.
