It’s because those slaveowning founders, abhorrent as they were, were part of an elite culture that put public virtue as a thing to be upheld. Mass culture simply isn’t like that. It’s base, crass, self-centered and destructive. It annihilates all that doesn’t conform to its mediocrity.

Can anyone explain to me how "Trump donating the brand new Air Force One to his own presidential library right before leaving office, so he can continue to use it" is any different from THE PRESIDENT STEALING AIR FORCE ONE

It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…

ICE: an organization born in a time of extreme fear, given expansive power far beyond most police departments, has now evolved into a full-blown unaccountable fascist police force, under the control of a would-be dictator.

It never ceases to be jarring to remember that we share a country with people like these cops, ghouls who not only willingly do this job but go to sleep at night content about it and eager to do it again the next day

Take a step back here, they've spent the past 4 years hyping themselves up about the Insurrection Act. Shoot a few protestors, suspend habeus corpus, then you can jail your enemies & declare a 1000 year reich. They think it's an instant I-win button when it's the thing that presages their downfall.
