I knew this would depress me and indeed it did. This bit said it all for me — “It is, in other words, the removal of all friction, all agency, and, in turn, all humanity.”

I shed actual tears at the epilogue

the exchange in the epilogue is killing me. The “No you don’t. Yes I do. No you don’t. Yes I do” of it all.

He’s such a specific type though and I wonder how many are even out there like him. Never MAGA and not even really a believer in Republican ideology for quite awhile. Just someone who is scared to start over professionally/financially. Which I don’t discount and I guess he’s speaking to his peers.

I wonder how many people are out there like him. He seems an uncommon case. Guess that’s the narrow segment he’s speaking to though. Not even really a believer in Republican ideology at this point but started his career when he was and scared to start from scratch. Better late than never.

And Mamdani is STILL questioned/attacked about not condemning the global antifada statement that he never even said. It just won’t die. Whereas Trump/Vance say a new controversial/awful thing every day and 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree with you. Particularly when it came to his specific point about being “post-gaffe.” That definitely applies for Republicans but just look at how every single Biden misstep/misspeak was covered. We had a solid week of wall to wall coverage of Biden referring to some people as garbage.

Trump made a comment recently that made it clear that even he knows Miller is a monster. Basically that Miller shouldn’t share with the press what he really thinks.

For as much (warranted) negative attention as Acosta gets Menchel actually sounds shady as hell

The 2nd point (agenda setting/framing) has been such a frustrating one. When the media cites polls of what people are concerned with and completely ignores their own roles in driving those stats. Media collectively camped out in grocery stores covering rising costs under Biden and now its crickets.

I don’t know if this makes it better or worse but so many in the Trump admin act the same way. Kash Patel was just as bad in his hearings.

She speaks with more clarity on just about every issue than any other democrat

How many of those who see an overdue tone shift are women or poc?

Not even just comfortable they seem to revel in it. Blowing up boats of people who may or may not be smuggling. Getting off on the thought of immigrants being eaten by alligators. The thrill of beating up or shooting protestors. It is all so unsettling and violent.

I can’t even express how repugnant a description “you kill people and break things for a living” sounds to me

disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable is kind of the ongoing theme of the Trump admin

Now might be a good time for Democrats to remind people that when they return to power they will not hesitate to prosecute people who murder civilians.

no low too low

I was disappointed. They’re either the same or slightly inferior to the regular Oreos with PB.

Why would anyone ever want a sweatshirt with a Trump granddaughter’s initials? I really don’t get the appeal even for the Trump true believers. It seems so random.

Did they always make you wait til the next episode to see who’s cut? I really hate that. Just makes me want to skip the judges deliberations.
