Kudos to The Atlantic.
So much of the legacy media tucked tail and ran.
They didn't flinch.

Yeah.
And so is the rest of his crew.
They drown in the political abyss, together.

MAGAs and the Big Lie:
'The concept of the “big lie” (große Lüge) was first described by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf (1925).
Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, was chiefly responsible for implementing and systematizing large-scale falsehoods throughout Nazi Germany.

Ask for specifics:
Who, exactly, among those 'persecuted Americans,' was denied due process?

She's so sure of herself.
But flat-earthers always are.
Query: Why didn't the administration make their case in court?
In front of an impartial judge?
Seems like it would've been a slam dunk.
If they're even half right.

That's a systemic problem.
Top to bottom.
Side to side.
Wag a finger at corporate offenders, with a frown and tsk, tsk.
Impose a fine that they can pay from pocket change.

In his first term, Trump slapped tariffs on China, which retaliated with tariffs on U.S. goods. Soybeans—a top American agricultural export—were singled out for especially steep duties.
American farmers supported Trump again in the 2024 election.
And now they cry.
Who's to blame?
