You know, for all the Waco Branch Davidian raid was ultimately processed as a threatening strike against the right, “a government agency coming out of the ‘80s acts to claim bureaucratic territory and legitimacy by using police force to suppress novel religions and non-nuclear family life structures” was not a very left place to start from

@gattsuru said: It’s a bit like how no one particularly liked Randy Weaver, either: it’s less that it was a strike _against_, so much as who it was _for_, and how they did it.

Yeah and the wild thing is by backing the ATF and trying to cover things up and sweep them under the rug, Clinton and Reno were trying to dispel a negative image of the Democrats as people who would side with a creepy cult against the thuggish police they killed
