Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Just wanted to note that exactly one year ago Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records in a hush money case involving Stormy Daniels. It seems like a notable thing, and it hasn’t crossed my newsfeed as something worth recalling, so… yeah.
