It really tells you everything you need to know about the Democratic Party that they can't go after Trump for the most blatant corruption scandal in the history of the presidency because some of them are in bed with the same corruption coin guys.

There are a lot of tongue-in-cheek jokes about DEI and wokeness keeping things running, but there is also likely a story where these things were part of a system of restraint, propriety, and respect that was truly load bearing

I kinda think “weird” wasn’t about persuasive power but about Democrats paying some kind of psychic wage to their supporters, finding ways for being a Democrat to provide meaningful pleasure (the way being a MAGA provides lots of pleasure to bigots).

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

specifically you can see a gulf between 2010s Marvel and even, like, 1960s Marvel here. In 1960s Marvel the Red Skull, the Hate-Monger, etc are *specifically leading American nativist movements whipping up bigotry', in 2010s Marvel Hydra are just, like, generic baddies.
