Three things.

1. The party of Trump is the @Our_DA in South Africa. Sharing racist cartoons, lying about farm murders, calling for the return of Botha and trying to rebrand colonialism and apartheid. John, Helen and the right wingers have taken over the DA and going Trump on us https://twitter.com/pieterdutoit/status/1346905118902509570

2. The people who have done pretty much the same thing are the Senekal farmers who were goaded by @afriforum and @Our_DA.

They shot guns in court offices, they burnt police vehicles and stormed the courts.

Helen Zille was in attendance at one of their tents the next week.

3. As an assistant editor for one of the most widely read online publications this is not a good sign.

You are irrationally equating the filibuster protests of elected officials to the unlawful activities of armed mobs trying to steal an election.

That’s not professional.

Some visual footnotes to jog your memory.
