My formative childhood years were spent listening to "good, non-bigoted" liberals talk about "killing terrorists" who "hate democracy" because of their "tribal culture".
No, the Republicans were simply repeating the phrase "glass the middle east" with their eyes rolled back in ecstasy. Compared to that, the Victorian-era racism of liberals trying to ~~bring civilization~~ spread democracy got a pass for sounding slightly less hitlerian. This dynamic may sound familiar
And sadly the democrats post 9/11. We'll that just lifted the mask off. Been more like since Korean War
