This reminds me of how so many people can ignore climate change until it's too late

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Classic American political dialogue is premised on the idea that we share fundamental values but disagree on how best to promote them. I haven’t believed this for a while. Other than “I prefer to be alive and not dead” and “I like pudding,” I do not share values with these people.

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

The kid was returning a BB gun to a mall, which is not something that carries the death penalty last I checked.

The man—who was a danger—decided the child—who was in danger—was a danger.

He was encouraged to do this by our dominant cultural narrative.

ICYMI: I wrote about the responses to the Trump verdict – an alarming reminder of the politics of revenge that defines the American Right today.   They are out for bloody retaliation, all dressed up as “patriotism.” Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵1/

Notice how MAGA conspiracy theories can never be proven false. When new info comes in that cuts against them -- such as Hunter being prosecuted by Biden's DOJ -- the theory is just enlarged. So now the officials who prosecuted Hunter are part of a cabal protecting the Bidens.

absolutely this. republicans thrive on decline! republican policies bring economic decline which brings outmigration of young people and professionals, which strengthens the republican hold on government which brings even more conservative policies which brings greater decline, etc.

Going on eight years and I'm still coming to terms with how many people are so completely divorced from reality. These Republicans don't even trust each other. It's conspiracies all the way down.

Maybe the problem is it seems *relatively* silly, compared to say phoning the Georgia Secretary of State and trying to bully him into changing the election results.

I wrote about our nation's cult of supremacist bullies, who we're constantly told are better than we think, even as they prove themselves worse than we can imagine.

The moral emptiness of moral authority they demand, and how their pig president reflects it.

“I proudly know nothing about the matter, but I will nevertheless weigh in to scold both sides for being so extreme” not only gives you about all you need to know about Friedersdorf - it’s also the pure essence of vacuous, arrogant centrist punditry. A piece of art.

I know it's obvious that Trump changes positions on a dime and how it's mystifying that his cult doesn't care, but picking all this apart is a fool's errand. They stick with him because he channels their diffuse anger about their lives at other Americans. But it's worse now: /1
