Her problem could have been avoided.

History shows over and over again when fascism is on the ballot, there is only one choice: stop it before it starts. Period.

You clearly know nothing about Ilhan Omar and this is an unproductive and mean conversation

You clearly know nothing about how fascism works. It doesn't spare anyone, including Omar. There aren't rules for 99.999% of people but a special carve out just for her.

It's not unproductive because hopefully people learn cause and effect. If the effect we want in the future is the opposite of this, we need to act in an opposing casual manner. What's "mean" is when someone has power, knows the history of fascism and yet doesn't advance the most effective means of stopping it knowing what it ALWAYS leads to.

Which just means you should know better. And nothing you said absolves her of her complicity in this my not actively working against it when she read Project 2025 and knew with 100% certainty that this is where it was going to lead.

I don't know why anyone would overlook the fact that she looked out for herself and campaigned for herself over campaigning for Harris despite her knowledge of what was at stake.
