The news media call Zohran Mamdani a "democratic socialist." That's not his party affiliation – that's his ideology. So why don't the media focus on the ideology of MAGA Republicans and call them "fascists"?

JD Vance said DOGEbro Marko Elez shouldn't have his life "ruin[ed]" b/c of racist tweets.
But "Elez's life had not been 'ruined,'" as @jvl.bsky.social notes. He just lost a govt job he'd briefly had.
And if losing a govt job is a life-ruining event, just think how many lives DOGE/Musk have ruined.

A bunch of Democratic politicians and influential “moderate” commentators is hyperfocused on demanding the Democratic Party “move right” on trans rights just as the state is ramping up the persecution of this small, extremely vulnerable group of people.
It is vile, disgusting, disqualifying.
