Back in 2001, the right-wing takeover of US media was still a ways off. "Right-wing media" was still a distinct, separate thing. Nonetheless, the conservative browbeating of "MSM" voices had been loud enough, long enough, to suppress the natural civic horror at GOP cheating in the election.

I was thinking to myself, "I can't believe it's December," but if I reflect a little and I'm honest with myself, I still can't believe it's the 2000s.

one thing that doesn’t get enough coverage or comment with regards to this administration is it how much it hates the actually existing united states

Cosmopolitan, egalitarian values are better than authoritarian values and it would be cool if one of our two political parties argued as much instead of spending decades trying to avoid cultural arguments by clinging to "it's the economy stupid" or "kitchen table issues" or "affordability."

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland

hard to overstate how bad this is for discrimination against everyone but white people.

I'm saying we are undergoing a wholesale revision of equal protection and anti-discrimination law so that it only protects white people.

Let me explain:
This makes facially neutral policies--like poll taxes and literacy tests--that we know were adopted for discriminatory purposes legal. Organizations can now simply claim there was no discriminatory intent regardless of outcome. It's unconstrained institutionalized racism.
They're just taking an ax to the Civil Rights Act

the true believers around nixon genuinely saw him as some kind of embodiment of the people and thought that congressional attempts to corral his authority were illegitimate on that basis. straight line from them to the executive power fetishists on the supreme court.
it is incredible that legalizing watergate has been the overriding ideological project of the american right for fifty years
