I feel like—ten years into the Trump era—journalists should have better language for what is happening that goes beyond verbs like shocking, upending, overturning, frustrating...
Every educated person understands Donald Trump is at war with the United States itself.
He's doing violence to America.

He makes no bones about the fact that what he admires is an iron-fisted dictatorship—a form of government that would long ago have crushed him like a bug.
Can we just call him a racist already? Or is that still a damn overstep.
When Pickett's men charged at the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge, we didn't say they were merely attempting to "shake up" Winfield Hancock's men, did we?
SCOTUS chose not to enforce section 3 of the 14th Amendment, then they chose to wait until the last second before showing us the new law they created - presidential immunity
Huh 🤓 .
They won’t stand up to the dictator bully. A bunch of cowards. They are bringing down the USA because they refuse to stand up to a demented old man.
That’s what we failed to communicate.
We know the system doesn’t work but let us change it, keeping you and your families in mind, not the corporations and Elon Musk.
Are journalists and news organisations worried for themselves considering the threats that Trump has made?
🔥🔥🔥
Had plenty of opportunities to stop this from happening.
Now there's no way but through.
The norm
The Upside Down Place
1984
Mein Kampf
Apocalyptic
Catatonic fear
OR ABSOLUTE RESISTANCE
We may just have ensured that Donald Trump outlives Earth.
Professional journalists cut their teeth being trained to portray a 'fair' contest between A and B.
It's a new world since 2016. They need to decide that you can't treat a guy who says your profession is the enemy of the people as just another politician.
I'm desperately trying to avoid politics so I can be as blissfully uninformed as more than half the country, but....I've gathered by the way the cabinet is shaping up, Trump is literally trying to destroy the United States.
He's also noted well for saying that he has no reason to ever ask "God for forgiveness"
Where's your dignity America?
Let's fking defeat that.
See a republican, report a republican.
shocking, upending, overturning, frustrating..…
Maybe
Horrible, frightening, terrible, horrendous, threatening, creepy, atrocious, appalling, nightmarish
History Rhymes
Is limited.
Donald Trump carries out Vladimir Putin's agenda: the destruction of the United States.
And this administration is doing nothing to stop it.
It also aims to end Ukraine and end the Palestinian people as a whole.
The White House can either treat this as democracy, or as a Russia fueled war, which it is.
That is exactly right!
It’s people like Peter Baker, not sure I can even call him a journalist who normalized Trump and got us to this point.
It can’t be recognized easily because it’s weakest in its infancy.
Americans, even those in media still do not see it.

"Tens of thousands of children died each year before mandated routine vaccinations, which Mr. Kennedy would eliminate"
That is shocking.
That would shock me.
Trump loves his poorly educated
there is no easy money without access
there is no access without obeisance
there is no obeisance without disgrace
We need a different language for this shit.
Their word choice is everything here. Not even surprised.
