This is probably what’s going to drive me insane in the weeks and months ahead.
Trump’s fascism is going to be presented alongside sports news and wordplay about new animals at the zoo, like all of this is normal.

McLuhan had an eye on that breakdown even earlier.
Our collective attention is broken. I’ve read/heard some commentary about how radio (new media) made the rise of fascism possible in the 20th century and that social media plays that role now
Fucking fascist-sympathizing cowards! 🖕🏽

Won't be long before that's the news alert.
• victims of climate disasters
• trans people
• palestinians
have all felt about this precise phenomenon
how about we point the finger at the problem (news company brass) instead of at the person generating news?
this is systemic.
Never mind he’s threatening to withhold disaster assistance to their audience.
I just keep thinking about Germany 😢
Newsweek, International Edition: "Why America Is Losing The War In Afghanistan"
Newsweek, Domestic Edition: "Celebrity Photos with Annie Leibowitz!"
Cortisol going up.

I keep looking at fascist in history trying to find the way they are prevented from taking power.
I can’t find it 😕 the US courts are broken. Which seems to have been the last barrier elsewhere

If there are no outright atrocities at first to outrage against, and the economy does well, most people will be just business as usual.
I’m genuinely concerned it’s the real deal. So much of the flood the zone EOs were goofy and unserious. Unfortunately, there were things in them that are truly frightening.
Pulling out of the MHO and closing down NIH so dangerous
