Progs have been playing this game for the past 16 months that if your view of the 1/6/2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol is anything less than condemning it as a "coup" or "insurrection," then you're basically complicit in domestic terrorism.
But when White House Press Secretary Little Red Lying Hood Jen Psaki is asked if her boss condemns people showing up at the private residences of U.S. Supreme Court justices in anger over Roe v. Wade possible being overturned?
Doocy: "Activists posted a map with the home addresses of the Supreme Court justices. Is that kind of thing this president wants?"

One part of her response which really struck me? When she said President Biden's view is "that there's a lot of passion..." among the protestors, so perhaps we shouldn't be so outraged at their tactics. This kind of flippant, dismissive attitude seems to be the modus operandi of Biden and his administration whenever people protest overzealously on their behalf.
Remember last fall when Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema wouldn't vote for legislation which would've added even more trillions to our national debt? Activists stood outside a bathroom stall she was using to demand she acquiesce. Back then, Biden brushed it off as "part of the process." A few months before that, Democrats in the Texas Legislature shirked their taxpayer funded responsibilities by fleeing the state to go to Washington, D.C. in protest over a bill shoring up voter integrity. Their dereliction of duty was lauded by Vice President Kamala Harris.
As has been said in this space before, the albatross of a tanking economy, supply chain issues and gutless foreign policy will be hung around the Democrats' neck. As such, this pearl clutching over Roe possibly being tossed is a feeble attempt to gin up leftist passion ahead of the midterms. But this effort will most likely fail for two reasons. One, voters are more concerned about the aforementioned issues which impact their everyday lives. And two, people will quickly realize overturning Roe will not result in a flat out ban on abortions, rather it allows states to codify their own abortion laws.
Who would've guessed that a party constantly shrieking their desire to stop the alleged trampling on our democracy would be so overwrought about a SCOTUS decision fortifying....uh....democracy?
