Right? We’re on a thread where Trump is literally THREATENING THE LIFE OF A FEDERAL JUDGES daughter? The FBI might want to stop there first?

The NYT does not help me understand the world. Shouldn’t that be its job? Instead, it’s political articles are intentionally contrary, ambiguous, opaque.

And to think that the resources that went into posting this article could have gone into describing to readers how Republicans want to turn the United States into an authoritarian theocracy.

one thing the right understands that the left messaging folks don't always seem to grok is the need for absolutely brutal repetition if you want the slack-jawed dipshits that comprise the bulk of this country to get new information into their rusty, iron skulls

The real reason they don’t want to stop Trump is because he’s the only force animating the corpse of the Republican Party, and without him, we’d have to actually focus on governing in the face of tremendous, generational, paradigm-defining problems

Conservative legal theory is when the rights of women and trans people must be "deeply rooted in the country's history and tradition" but also who even cares what a bunch of old dead guys would've thought about Donald Trump

Kind of like how the papers invent the “moderates” that Nikki Haley alienated with her civil war gaffe.

It’s just regular cookies, much like this “dog treat” peppermint bark I received as a gift for my dog. The ingredients are no different than regular peppermint bark (sugar, peppermint flavor).

Short answer: free Google products don’t care if they don’t work. They exist to gather information about you, not function effectively.

Help. Why is the NYT doing this nonsense? Trump is obviously projecting when he does this, as he has been doing for five years. It’s not just something “Democrats are suggesting”. It’s so weird and depressing.

I don’t think they’ll show up. There’s so much sturm and drang about the violent far right but I just don’t see them in numbers large enough to enact some violent coup. The biggest problem is the genpop’s indifference to democratic ideals not their dedication to forcefully destroying it.

Yeah yeah yeah lots of us have studied disinformation and done our history homework but…we are at a strange place. Parallels exist to other rising fascist regimes but huge differences exist as well. No past dynamic fits exactly onto 2023 United States. Who knows what will happen?
