This was all so avoidable. If only the pompous and pampered old men didn’t pat the little ladies on the head and tell them they were overreacting. Bill Kristol’s ghost will roam the earth for eternity for so many sins. I’m glad for his redemption arc in this time though.
I encourage folks to read the article and remember it's from 2019. All of this was predictable. What is predictable is preventable. People chose not to prevent it and instead smear those who told the truth and tried to stop catastrophe. https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/sarah-kendzior-st-louis-31701656
It was predictable in the immediate aftermath of the September 11th attacks and the efforts to undermine the normal functioning of US society that followed.
Not sure. Have seen increasing posts re: substack and it's somehow contributing to the problem. Seem to be valid accounts but no idea what the problem might be.
Substack prominently platforms many hate group blogs and has no intention of stopping despite multiple protests.
This has been going on for a few years.
People have been asking prominent non-fascists to move to similar sites that don’t publish hate, so as not to have to give Substack their money.
Don’t believe it. If you still see good people you trust on there it’s likely another conspiracy theory. Remember many of the people on there are getting big traction, the right is very threatened. One has more views than FOX so that should tell us something.
First, I miss the RFT. I remember when it was born.
Second, you have always been on the mark with your reporting & analysis.
Third, I wish more Americans would have listened.
I am so angry that while people like me who have no influence KNEW you were right, people that should have listened to you thought they knew better and were dismissive. Arrogant assholes all of them and now here we are.
Private company helping the insurrectionists by violating our privacy online we must march on there buildings and homes just like the trumptards did to librarians they got the same rights we got the same rights. Pass it on my people. https://youtu.be/cLhHuOPAXZQ?feature=shared

Alas.
History informs us most are too lazy to take action soon enough.
Take care of one another. It's all we can do.

Great article.
Having said that, the "institutions are holding" mantra had me rolling my eyes too in Trump's first term.
I think we made better harridans than these new dudes who just figured out what an animal spirit is
Would love to see you two do something together. Get him on the pod.
