What does some 4 year old BOTH SIDES thing have to do with shutting down a bunch of facists today?

History is a weapon.

It's alarming when people are repeating mistakes of protest movements that are barely a decade old. People who represent this movement reading anything critical of the Democrats and yelling "BOTH SIDES" is a red flag indicating a doomed resistance.

Occupy didn't have any sort of leadership or organization, the movement quickly fragmented into a million little factions.

This article is a nothing burger. It's assertion is that both Obama and Trump used DHS for domestic surveillance... Yeah, no shit, that's literally what Jr. created it for.

The irony of this canard being posted on a Fediverse server is overwhelming.
