This is the kind of stuff enthnonationalist autocrats say before instituting mass incarcerations or more overt state violence in the name of putting down terrorism from their opponents.

So is this part we repeat history almost a century later and start regarding the NYTimes as less of a “trusted news source” and more “a vital part of the fascist propaganda machine”?

This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

If you take the White House tour, you get to see the control panel. It was the inspiration for the one in Inside Out! If you’re lucky, you might even catch POTUS adjusting the gas prices lever during your visit.

One thing rich people forget–or if they're heirs, never learned–is that life can deal you a bad hand & there's no option but to make the best of it & play it out anyway. Huge "I demand to speak to the manager" vibes here.

watching Dem-aligned elites (for lack of a better word) freak out because they realize they ultimately have little power to affect this outcome is amazing in a 42-car pileup kind of way. There are things we can affect, but most of us, incl. said elites, have no agency here.

My favorite part of the West Wing fantasies about replacing Biden is the idea that there wouldn’t immediately be a new fatal flaw with whoever replaced him.

Everyone watching any Bond movie: this is utterly unrealistic, no one would stand there and say exactly how they were going to do some awful thing, the Incredibles even made a joke about monologuing. Everyone experiencing reality: Oh. Oh, I see.

That Heritage Foundation statement threatening a violent revolution against the left = that moment in a movie in which the forces of evil loudly announce their evil plans. except in real life, unlike in a movie, most normal people don’t even realize this has *happened* (which is our job).

Humans in the real world just don’t freak out about threats in the relatively logical, comprehensible way that they’re portrayed freaking out about things (alien invasions, fascist takeovers, mutant robots) in most mass media.

The President declares forcefully that he is staying in the race. The Post leads with another attempt to behead him and puts the candidate's declaration in tiny type. This is not news judgment. This is an agenda. It is a newspaper now run by Murdochians. The Post, too, is broken.
