    Lost in the sauce.

    This was from a different era by someone with different goals.

    You are missing the point of the interaction this occurred in.

      I’m looking at it from a modern, or rather post modern, context where it’s really fucking obvious that this was the beginning of the rise of the fascist right in the U.S.

      We’re a year, two years at most, away from a civil war. This is not the time to circlejerk over petty thinly disguised insults. Her doing that in no way benefitted anyone back then or anyone now.

      In fact, it’s makes the problem worse by letting the Democrats feel like they’ve won something while the right entrenches more political power and preps to commit mass murder on a scale that will leave a dark mark on human history.

      You’d take the situation more seriously if you gave a shit, but you clearly don’t.

        I “give a shit” just fine but this isn’t a modern comment, and to speak as you wish she would have would be completely inappropriate for her in that moment. She was sufficiently cutting, for those with the intelligence to recognize it.

        I’m done here cya.
