"These polarization sleuths are also curiously incapable of acknowledging that there's an elaborate (and ever-growing) right wing information ecosystem custom built to divide, troll, and upset the electorate with manufactured culture-war grievance bullshit." Spot on.

The BBC could do with some of the honesty the New York Times shows. The headline for the death of Jim Bakker would substantially fit Jeffrey Archer. If the BBC weren't a mouthpiece of right wing political parties.

BBC headline:

Author and former politician Jeffrey Archer dies aged 86

New York Times headline:

Jim Bakker, Television Preacher Felled by Sex and Financial Scandals, Dies at 86

Since Trump took office, his backwards economic policies have cost the average American family over $4,200 extra for everyday necessities. ⛽ Gas: $4.36/gal 🚛 Diesel: $6.32/gal Now 95% of Americans say we’re in an affordability crisis. Americans can’t afford more of this. Vote out ALL Republicans!

Ohio, a state that Trump has won three times, has become a battleground for the same reasons that the GOP is predicting a bleak forecast in this year’s midterms: skyrocketing gas prices, bipartisan disdain for data centers, high costs for food and utilities, and Trump’s unpopular war with Iran.

Trump’s appearance in Ohio underscores all the reasons the GOP is unpopular

Will the president's steadfast support of data centers cost Ohio Republicans a victory?
