The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

If the Democrats’ job is to simply cede ground to the Republican agenda over and over, you have to start wondering what’s the point of having an opposition party at all.

3 yrs ago DeSantis and Chris Rufo piloted the academic repression we've seen across the country at Florida's very queer public lib arts college to fight the "feminization" of higher ed. they ended the gender studies program, fired professors, and 1/8th of the student body left. @us.theguardian.com

The "article" here should be "why do so many people in rural areas believe things that are easily provably false?" as opposed to "why are we so divided?" It's almost like the former might give you the answer to the latter.

The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.

Partly as a result of backlash, partly as a response to real failures of movement leaders, terms like “second wave” and “liberal feminism” have become synecdoches for feminism’s various inadequacies and betrayals. But we all live in the world that the second wave liberal feminists made.

Yes. If these people gave a shit about "bringing good jobs back to America," they would be fighting to improve the quality of the jobs we already have. There's nothing inherent to the work of a taxi driver or waitress that has to be less secure than a 1950s factory worker.

The problem is: those who credit manufacturing jobs for a glorious past America mistake correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had the “good life” because of jobs in manufacturing. In reality, their parents and grandparents had that life because of unions, pensions, high marginal tax rates, and strong social policies — with a little post-War exceptionalism and a lot of racism and sexism thrown in.

The far right's stance on COVID was always incoherent and contradictory. It was a devastating bioweapon, but also just a cold. It was a plot to cull the herd, but also infect yourself on purpose. Donald Trump moved mountains to create the vaccine, which you should avoid because it will kill you.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

The premise here, just to spell it out, is that no black person, woman, queer person, etc., has EVER genuinely accomplished something. Every time it ever seemed like they had, it was just white people virtue-signaling by using them as tokens or whatever Or in other words that they're natural slaves

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.
