The MAGA billionaires who own corporate media want you to keep fighting with each other over stupid bullshit so they never have to pay taxes. It’s not about left vs. right or left vs. center. It’s about the bottom vs. the top.

Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence,” said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

Some days I try to focus on one tiny nugget of the current insanity, because if I try to take in all of it I might jump off a bridge or something, so today's nugget is: WE DON'T NAME THINGS AFTER LIVING PRESIDENTS IN OFFICE OR PUT IMAGES OF HIS FACE ON OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT THINGS. I thank you.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.
