What if, and you're going to want to sit down for this, Trump only pretended to care about those voters when he needed their votes?

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Because the Liberal Currents writers have actual values, they are, almost uniquely among media, able to react our fascist moment not by asking “What if all our beliefs are wrong? What if we went too far with all the democracy and fairness stuff?” but by asking “How do we beat the fascists again?”
To fight fascism we need opposition media with a backbone. 𝘓𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 is that. Help us grow our voice. www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...

It’s a manifestation of Murc’s Law. The press has no problem judging Democratic initiatives on their own merits, but Republican failures might have succeeded in orthogonal ways that our coastal elite brains just can’t understand!
Like, this is applying the lowest possible standard here: I’m not even asking the US press to manage the impossible task of caring about the millions of poor people around the world being killed or having their lives ruined; they can’t even manage to judge it as a political win/lose story

Who cares? Why are the political leanings of a 24-year-old newsworthy?
Nalin Haley, the 24-year-old son of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, is sounding more MAGA than his mom. He isn’t the only child to challenge a politician parent’s views this year.

In case you writers out there have ever felt imposter syndrome, "From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible" is an actual sentence in whatever this is.
Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.
In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.

Part of the transition from conservatism to authoritarianism is the shift from lies with some veneer of plausibility (wink wink) to lies that are demonstrably, obviously lies, such that accepting them involves an almost total subjugation of individual discernment or judgment.
