The Taliban is celebrating in Kabul after taking back the country in a matter of days. But their victory not only shows the weakness of US military power – it also shows that American society is weakening and foundering.
After being asked by a questioner about the Taliban’s stance on free speech, one leader fired back, telling the questioner to Facebook why it censors the free speech of Americans.
It’s a good point, actually.
This is what a loss of soft power / moral legitimacy looks like. This is what Democrats have done. https://t.co/JCwnHjGsqP

Turns out that Facebook and the Taliban have a lot in common.
And both of them should be broken up.
