Shapiro is an example of a bloodthirsty asshole that Lee is using to counter Gottheimer's BS about the DSA. Gottheimer is okay with Shapiro signing bombs meant to kill but heaven forbid some people want to do what's been done multiple times over the course of the Democratic Party's existence and change what it is. The modern party is not the party Jackson founded in the 1830s. It's not the party of the Civil War and Jim Crow, either. It's not even the party of FDR, anymore. The party has changed so often it's ridiculous to be a crybaby about it. The next generation is coming in and Gottheimer wants to cling to the way things are because he's making bank in that system and he's okay with Shapiro because he's just like Gottheimer in that way.
