There's nothing particularly savvy and wise and profound in the observation that Trump is a monster, and his election would have republic-endingly bad consequences to everyone living in the US, but it is still true, and it is still the most useful thing newspapers could write about the race

I think tho it is reasonable & has been reasonable to question nominating Biden. However, I think it is by far more questionable to nominate Trump. What media ppl are saying is "we told you so." & while Biden can run the country ok probably, campaigning is different. & what happens in 25 or 26?

And honestly, if they applied the same yardstick to Trump that they applied constantly on Biden — he is no longer just a monster, he has the same basic issues Biden does. Just he says incoherent racist lies with complete confidence. Trump would likely have fared similarly in the debate aftermath.

Sure, but journalistic integrity was a lot more affordable when there was money in classified ads.

The #MSM has completely failed at this, i.e. actual #journalism in the national interest since 2015 and continue to do so today.

Its also why I wish any decent democrat or democrat soft money group is not just broadcasting 30 second clips of Trump at his rallies at the most lunatic and similar things that are just "this guy WANTS to be Orange Hitler, in his own words"

I know someone who won't vote for Trump, but will vote for Republicans -- who have kissed Trump's ring. While Trump is a monster, the current GOP platform is straight up white Christian nationalism. How much does that change with Trump out? So maybe write about that.

Don't think of it as 'republic-ending', but rather think of it as prefixing the word 'banana' to your republic. 🤔

Agreed. In addition to core Trump supporters, there's a sizeable chunk of the moneyed classes that don't consider ending the republic-as-we-know-it to be a bad thing. Holding on to the hope that this bloc doesn't constitute an electoral majority, it seems that getting the word out is key.

Still somewhat bemused that this is somehow all Biden's fault for not being able to slay the fascist rather than the media's fault for not pointing out that the fascist is a fascist.
