They like Trump and want to help him rule us like a king
This is sort of a pattern: See also naive parroting of the claim that troops are being deployed to cities “to fight crime”. You don’t have to do admin propaganda by laundering their falsehoods in your headlines.

Did they go so far as to say “we should help the Trump administration sell this action”?

Or do they just sorta do it?

The New York Times describes Trump demanding his own Justice Department pay him $230 million as a "potential" ethical conflict.

I don't care if you left Twitter. Good for you. This isn't about your personal moral development, it's about the fact that there is a massive public forum that 90% of American elites us that is dominated by neo-Nazi, antisemitic politics.
And this is why we all left.

Hey so you know the White House and Mike Johnson have essentially dissolved Congress and their is only one functioning branch of the government, the executive, and it’s parallel fascist, militarized police force right?

a tyrant is ignoring the constitution, firing live artillery at americans, invading our cities, and tearing down the white house to build himself a palace

our institutions won't react because they're lost in a digital dreamstate, unable to decide what is true because of social media poisoning
