Fritz is a predatory fascist and Jackie is either an extremely naïve inadvertent enabler or an intentionally malicious one

Saul responds to Fritz by completely shutting down, by being baffled and bewildered and offended and shocked. He's frankly astonished.

Saul is completely ineffectual, and every single leftist has been him at one time or another. I definitely have. We all have.

The big debate is whether Saul's mistake is 1) that he doesn't walk out of the room immediately or 2) that he doesn't use better rhetoric

I think either would be better than what he does.

There's a reason why it comes as a big relief when Abigail Cockbane shows up. Cockbane is a bit villainous herself be she doesn't take shit.

If Cockbane debated Fritz nothing productive would happen but at least she wouldn't be bullied. She'd interrupt, accuse, get real ugly.

But what she does is leave immediately. She won't even consider walking into the room with Fritz. And that works out better for her TBH
