I find it more upsetting that this publication acts as if this is the first time this is ever happened. worse, that the people of this country actually think that this is the first time this has ever happened in the United States.
It isn’t. This is the fourth or fifth time this has happened here.
How could anyone possibly be surprised by this? How fucking stupid are you?
When the electorate becomes lazy and complacent, fascism will always try to take hold. “The people” have no one to blame but themselves. Ourselves.
This. The reporting around things like this are reckless. Half the time it sounds like they’re inadvertently giving a platform to the rhetoric to spread. To normalize something that people already fought down before. But unfortunately many people are ignorant to that fact because many were raised with a revisionist version of history. And most don’t talk to people. Seriously. They don’t listen to family stories of what actually went down in their communities. For better or for worse.
Agreed. It’s time for reckoning by the voters, instead of more blaming the system/ politicians/ lack of good candidates. The system did as it always did, and dumb, lazy voters and virtue signaling sitouts got trump back into office.

At a certain point, the “neutrality” of the press is, itself, taking a side.
