Trump gritting through the pussy tape is illustrative here. He refused to drop out & a few weeks later his polls rebounded & the press just dropped it. Obviously the fact that the press likes fascism & wants it to win is a factor but the fact it didn't change anything was EMBARRASSING for them.

I think Kilgore Trout or someone said that "LOL nothing matters" is quite likely a battlefield-clearing weapon.

One way to understand AG Sulzberger’s obsession over this is it’s maybe his last chance to prove that NYT has the juice to make some kind of dent with its reporting. Otherwise he’s the inheritor of a low-status crosswords-and-cooking empire, like some common Newhouse

This the other thing about the polls. Historically campaign bombshells that seem to initially move votes settle back 3 weeks later.

And yes, one was a candidate confessing to sexual assault; the other is a guy who stuttered. Also: “if I drop out, we’ll have LBJ-68, but with an openly fascist authoritarian. What do you think I shall do?” Sounds perfectly plausible

How he responds makes all the difference. Trump gritting it out worked because he sat there like an amphibian. Biden needs to come out every day and say "look at this old bastard, come at me!" If he tries to triangulate, he will lose.

It still boggles the mind that the press wants fascism. Do they not realize what happens to the free press when a fascist regime fully takes over?
