This is a tremendously stupid post. Lee is a bad Mormon and it has nothing to do with anything you wrote.

Well like I always say, no one is more firmly in the grips of ideology than the person convinced they don't have one; no one is more easily manipulated than the person convinced they're a free-thinking iconoclast; no one is more driven by anger & resentment than the person proclaiming "rationality."

Did Jesus himself make an appearance and put his hand over his heart for the flag?

I feel like big accounts with tons of followers have a very different experience than me

Man they have some good writers. But they also publish routine trash too, usually by non-experts who could've easily been rebutted by their staff experts.

Useless governor. The only thing he's good for is providing cover for fascist backsliding.

Yeah, we're making fun of people who think it would make a difference

Anyone who thinks a rando waving a Mexican half is a problem that can be solved is irrevocably native

Like, if some rando waving a Mexican flag is all it takes to legitimize the administration, this country is so deep in hell already

It's not like there's a million-dollar front-and-center Fight ICE organization running heavily organized and orchestrated protests

Tom, in what world isn't there going to be an infinite number of ticky tack things that get exaggerated enormously or lied about by the administration

Those spokesperson comments are some of the most robotically malignant comments I've seen from PR, and man that's a competitive arena

Nobody ever confused Moore with an intelligent person. But let's not expect Lee to ultimately betray Trumpism either.

I think when you have organic protests with people who aren't organized or politically savvy, this is what you get 🤷

I'd pay a small subscription if the site stays as it is. Would've done so for Twitter pre-Musk.

Mark, I'd rather not read that author. I can't think of I single time I read something of hers I found insightful or accurate.

Both abject losers that represent the worst humanity has invented. There's no such thing as a winner here.

The author of this blurb wrote it in defiance of me firing them

That's a separate question altogether. But it's pretty hard to argue that any exit from the current catastrophe happens without an honest reckoning of how we got here.

At what point does someone transition from being a victim of clever propaganda to being a willing con?

I'm not a political stategist or historian, so I don't pretend to have a plan. But a nation with this much brain rot and moral malaise is unfit to be the leader of the free world.

Not saying total bullshit like "they didn't vote for this" would be a start

"What's the best political strategy?" is an important yet totally separate question from "Should we hold people accountable for their choices?"

At least you found something in there to boost your sense of moral superiority

Yes, these poor people simply can't help themselves. It's not their fault! If anything, they're victims! Who else besides everyone else in the world knew Trump was like this?

Tbh if I wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer but stumbled on a strategy that got me filthy rich and immune to criminal charges, I'd probably stick with it too

Look, I have feelings about Biden deciding to run again & thinking he could govern for four more yrs. But the fact that, in the middle of a turn toward actual fascism, that’s still the focus of our political conversation says everything abt the state of modern journalism. And it ain’t good.

Finally, a book about how best to arrange the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. So glad someone is focusing on this.
