I feel the Skepticism you hear from some when they seem utterly baffled that people would actually believe a second Trump term would bring authoritarian and anti democratic backsliding is rooted in, among other things, 1) not realizing that if something like that occurs, it’s not gonna have…

one of the most cowardly arguments i keep seeing from columnists is that nothing breaks through with trump supporters, so it’s a waste of time reporting on what he believes. this should be seen as a critically damning failure on behalf of the fourth estate. this means you failed. it’s not a pass.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

that "don't vote" piece may be the worst guest editorial in the NYT since they let Tom Cotton use the space to call for calling in the military against protesters.

I think @mtsw.bsky.social said, "don't print lies in the newspaper" is an infallible moral heuristic, and he's right, and it is one that the New York Times opinion page manages to fail on an almost-weekly basis.

Desegregation is being unraveled. Separate but “equal” is being reestablished. We can be defensive, or we can step up and ask for more than the preservation of the status quo.

Gorsuch is sitting in Merrick Garland’s seat. Barrett’s confirmation was rushed through two weeks before an election. Kavanaugh is a credibly accused rapist with magically disappearing debts. Alito signals he’s not impartial. Thomas takes bribes. This Supreme Court is illegitimate.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

Over the weekend, one of the major party presidential candidates promoted the idea of trying a former congresswoman for treason with televised military tribunals, and I’ll bet you haven’t seen a news article—much less a catastrophizing op-ed—about it.

Most of the ‘Biden should step aside’ stuff is just media driven in case you still don’t know. His supporters who see it and echo it in earnest are just showing us what we already knew anyway. That their moral standing is flimsy and their modus operandi is fear driven.

The NYT editorial board presents itself as like a wise adjunct group of strategists advising Democrats how to run their shop, but (a) it’s run and largely staffed by de facto Republican operatives and (b) it has no similar paternalistic scrutiny for Republicans.

I didn’t watch the debate, and most of the professional commentary I’ve seen on it has both not provided me with any new information about the race and inspired contempt for the commentators. I don’t know if I’m a typical American in this regard, but that’s where I’m at.

It's less a matter of the right being more skilled than the left at manipulating the media and social institutions and more that those institutions were built by people in power to preserve the people in power and to keep the rest of us in check.
