Silver lining: these complaints illustrate how well informal social stigmatization works, even on ppl who otherwise seem untouchable due to wealth &/or positions of power. This was among the most surprising findings of my 17 yrs studying the ultra-rich; it's now a key tool for fighting autocracy.

As has been blindingly obvious for years now, Trump's MAIN coalition isn't racists: it's men.* His coalition is huge & spans all races, age grps, econ classes & religions. MAGA is the counter-revolution of men against women, but misogyny is so embedded in the US that it's unacknowledged. * not all

As I've written for months, the broligarchs' play here is to take their failed "technologies"--AI & crypto, which are really fascist political projects in high-tech wrappers--& weld them into federal gov operations, ensuring the broligarchs get a big payoff for shit ideas rejected by free markets.

Absolutely outrageous. See this anti-DEI purge for what it is: a radical political project to erase--literally erase--the accomplishments, leadership & heroism of PoC, women & the disabled. The MAJORITY of Americans belong to 1 or more of those groups. "Anti-DEI" is an anti-American revolution.
