i do wonder about someone's ability to write those highlighted sentences and never realize they've been acclimated to fascist horrors.

how does that happen. how does one write "this thing that used to sound bad sounds fine now" and not wonder about it

This is why Dems confirmed Marco Rubio. Because they looked at him and thought that he was the same semi-harmless 2010-era Republican that he had been before he got into the presidential race in 2016

Does this Atlantic clown imagine that Oz is going to put up any resistance to RFK's policies?

"a charming celebrity physician with a penchant for theatrical claims" is a very funny way to say "snake oil salesman"

The “adult in the room,” when asked if he would follow unlawful orders of DJT: The President would never ask anyone to break the law.

He’s still on the other planet.

emberaegle.bsky.social•3 days ago

He wouldn't. He would declare that the law is whatever he desires it to be in the moment, completely different thing.

Like the frog in the pot saying "I realize the water is getting hotter, but this simmer isn't unbearable. At least it isn't boiling, which I totally don't need to worry about."

Overton window successfully shifted.

katendgame.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wherein the writer acknowledges that the movement of the Overton window is invisible to them from their position of comfort and privilege.

Americans are showing signs of the Stockholm syndrome.

Trying harder and harder to normalize everything- for no particular reason.

Can someone explain to me why we keep getting these same articles over and over again? Like do they do good traffic numbers or something? Why are editors asking for these?

chilledpunkrock.bsky.social•3 days ago

Legacy media begging to stay relevant by providing cover for Trump officials. Plus “this guy you hate might not be so bad” is an eye grabbing headline when people are furious and grasping for ANYONE to actually be in charge of things in a normal way.

Why is anyone taken in by a senate hearing? When grifters told you who they were years ago, believe them. They're not going to change now, with the GOP in full denial-of-reality mode.

jamielittleflower.bsky.social•3 days ago

Literally just saw a picture of him pressing his lips to the Trump Star on the walk of fame on what has to be the filthiest sidewalk in America so

Tapping on the sign so much lately that it’s going to wear out.
