Nick James @freshnick.bsky.social · 19hThe ratings were spectacular. The truth was cancelled, the critics were sued, and the opponents waited to hear their names. The audience kept watching, because nobody could remember where they had left the remote. And they all lived anxiously ever after. 000
Nick James @freshnick.bsky.social · 19hBlustering, bullying, name-calling, suing critics and threatening to jail opponents were cheered as strength, and every cruelty drew a bigger round of applause. And so, one day, a reality TV host became president. 100
Nick James @freshnick.bsky.social · 19hFrightened people gladly traded their own insecurities and fears for an agenda of hate, because hating someone felt so much better than fearing everything.

Christian nationalism and guns became the tests of who was truly American, and those who failed them learned to keep quiet. 100
Nick James @freshnick.bsky.social · 19hWhen the stories ran thin, it dug up old divisions, North and South, Black and white, city and country, and found they had never really been buried, only waiting. 100
Nick James @freshnick.bsky.social · 19hOnce upon a time, there was a wonderful country called America. It had no long shared past, so it made one up, and when that wasn’t enough, it made everything bigger, louder and available in extra large. 100
