1. Focus on the "Zoom Coup Group" has duly focused on the western diplomats. Understandable. To this Muchly Much Caffeinated Fitawrrari Wonqette though, what has been valuable is understanding how #TPLF talks to its (let's face it) mainly democratic supporters. Let's refocus. 2. The talking points TPLF uses are the same ones it has hammered for 27yrs & has become the guiding principle at @nytimes, @USAID and every bleeding-heart HR/NGO. What my Zemene Wonqette Colleague called "warrior/victim" mentality. It is clearly on display here. Take notes.
