hi there so a so-called circular firing
squad is when people are throwing and
shooting blame in all directions and
more specifically at their supposed
allies
so I'll read an example that comes from
shortly after the U.S midterm elections
a Democrat circular firing squad has
targeted far left Alexandria
ocasio-cortez for the party's losses in
the U.S House of Representatives that
will likely give Republicans the
majority now we don't even know if there
will be a majority at the time that I'm
recording this but that's not the point
the circular firing squad means that
people are sniping at their allies quote
unquote but within the party these are
not really allies but enemies jostling
for position they're only allies against
Outsiders the Republicans so that's what
a circular firing squad is all about be
careful where you aim your blame
