The Biden era was built on a false premise. The idea that Donald Trump's political rise and MAGA movement was some aberration, and not an outgrowth of fundamental shifts in society and politics.

![Pretty disgusted but not shocked that the New York Times headline for this story is: "Israel Says Michigan Synagogue Attacker's Brother Was a Hezbollah Commander." the reporting in the story does not even suggest an attempt at independent corroboration.
[NYT text excerpt]
The synagogue attacker, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, was a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Lebanon. Four of his relatives were killed in an Israeli airstrike on March 5: his brother, Ibrahim, and his two children, as well as another brother, Qassem, according to a Lebanese official and a Muslim leader in Michigan.
Israel said it had confirmed the death of Ibrahim Mohamad Ghazali and his role in Hezbollah after an intelligence analysis but provided no details about how it had verified the information. It did not link the attacker in Michigan to Hezbollah.
A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity to talk to the media, denied that Ibrahim or his family were affiliated with the group. He told The New York Times the Michigan attacker had been motivated by revenge for his family.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3q6ndrcyzatczhnnowtgskam/bafkreibhe6effuuajyu7ps2vxv4wmu2yhlo4n7rac3bsnvq4nhykkjgske)
