Whoa, I can't believe these wingnuts are fleeing California for Texas, a thing literally every California wingnut constantly and loudly talks about doing to the point of derangement.

The NYT does have good reporters, but holy hell, a story about how conservatives are resettling across America and her two big examples are Dallas and Coeur d'Alene? Are you kidding me?

I'd have to double-check this, but I'm fairly sure Walther is a Catholic integralist. Which, hey, good for him, but that's kind of important information for a reader to bring to this piece, which your average reader likely won't.

No wonder I've not heard about it, this apparently got examined in 2016 and the whole set-up was sketchy enough that reporters couldn't confirm it.

This level of societal anxiety was every day of Trump's presidency for four straight years, and it says nothing good about our most prominent journalists that they are jonesing for it like heroin junkies going through withdrawal.

"Politics would be interesting again." Yeah, half the country would be having nervous breakdowns and fighting with each other loudly and publicly for the next four months, I'm sure that will be very good for the national psyche.

I mean, the "clashing views" are autocracy vs. democracy, and there is nothing wrong with flat-out saying that. Or even monarchy vs. democracy, based on the nation's history that might be the way to get the message across.

The irony here is that this court is in Jackson's district, where he presumably lives. So this is one time when filing in front of Kacsmaryk might not be that insane from a standing perspective. If he lived in CA, for example, different story.

The GOP candidate is getting sentenced for 34 felony counts of fuckery in ten days. His former campaign manager/counselor/consigliere is going to prison tomorrow. The Times is a fundamentally unserious paper in so many ways.
