Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

Correct. And they do this to Dems because there is less of a threat of retribution, less fear of physical harm. Biden’s cognitive state didn’t make us the pariah of the world. He had expertise around him. There is none now.

In dissenting from the Supreme Court’s disruption of half a million lives by the Trump administration, Ketanji Brown Jackson denounces the majority’s double standard of letting Donald Trump set immigration policy however he wants, and quickly, but not Joe Biden. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

It's often presented as a kind of conformity or groupthink to "trust the experts," but you do in fact need to do this to have a functioning society! What is the alternative? Every person researches every single issue of public concern themselves?

“Public research universities …have turned to international students, who commonly pay full price for tuition, to help compensate for declines in state funding for education.” In a way, Trump’s attack on student visas is a new battlefront in an old war: the right’s crusade against public education.

Democracy requires some measure of buy-in into the idea that politics matters, public service is honorable (and to be honored by public servants), elected officials represent the people - fundamentally: that we are all part of the the game and the game deserves respect. It doesn't work like this.
