No, it's not "out of touch" with progressives or Palestine; it's actively hostile to them, and uses it's influence to fight them.

Honestly, liberals have spent the last decade worrying about misinformation and fake news, while giving a complete pass to some of the worst offenders, like the NYT.

No, Americans have just white washed him, and memory holed how evil he was.

They'll probably do the same for Trump one day

I would say, once America as a whole decided it was going to forgive and rehabilitate the evil of the Bush admin, getting worse was inevitable.

"He lied to get out of being conscripted into an unjust war of aggression" is really not the insult you think it is.

I do not understand why liberals always seem to find the least contemptible things about Trump to focus on

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
