Journalists have fragile egos and they hate having to interact with scum like us. They believe that they are part of the ruling class, and should never be questioned, much like the politicians they aid and abet. This should be common knowledge.

Ever come up with a conspiracy theory and then, as you think it through, you realize that the institutions involved just naturally do that anyway? Like, it isn't military intelligence or something, it's just powerful people acting out of self interest? Slightly disappointed, won't lie.

That's an excellent point. Centrists probably try to ignore that because their political heros spent that time triangulating and siding with the right, DOMA, etc.

Agreed on the MAGA. I have been trying to reach the MSNBC "liberals" in my life for years. I hope you have better luck. I guess I hope the left can convince the people who are largely disengaged but whose heart is in the right place. There are a lot of them.

Understandable. And you're right, anyone watching can see how intellectually dishonest he's being, so you are probably doing the right thing. I just get too angry at this point. Watching their willingness to sacrifice whole populations to "win" is sickening.

Speaking of WW2, do you think it will stop at trans people? You know the often quoted Niemoller poem that starts w/ "First they came for..."? The right-wing culture war attacks trans rights bc they know it's an effective wedge issue, also opening the door to go after gay & women's rights.

Today in 1948, revolutionary Fred Hampton was born. He would go on to found the Rainbow Coalition before being drugged and shot in his bed by the FBI. Today in 1979, actress Jean Seberg died by suicide following years of surveillance and harassment by the FBI for her support of the Black Panthers.
