But I think it's a mistake to use that to conclude they're crazy, delusional, or just engaged in hype to make money. As in climate, there is evidence in the world to assess and there is a ton of mounting real-world evidence that this is a technology that is getting much more powerful and dangerous.

One of the stubborn dynamics in climate politics is conservatives being simply unwilling to believe that their ideological opponents were/are right about something very important. Lots of conservatives really did covince themselves it was all a conspiracy to impose more government control.

We spoke to several women, now adults, after finding images of their abuse on X. One said the abuse was like a rock tossed into a pond, and the spread of the images are ripples that continue to disrupt her life. Here is how another woman described X's role:
The person depicted in the image, now an adult, said in an interview that she believed X profited from her abuse and further victimized her by not stopping the image from being shared.

“They’re getting benefits from my abuse, and it just feels like it’s never going to stop,” the woman said of X. She spoke on the condition of anonymity because she has been stalked by people who viewed images of her abuse online. “I get angry that I’m still having to go through this decades later, and that there doesn’t seem to be real-life consequences for people.”

When we presented our findings to child safety experts, they were shocked that we were persistently finding NCMEC images. Even though X said it reported 1.3 million images to NCMEC this year, some were clearly slipping through — X did not answer specific questions about how it blocks abuse material.

There’s so much more. Returning now to the post-Reagan era: From 1989 to 2026, we’ve had Democratic presidents for 20 years and Republicans for 17.4 years. Care to hazard a guess as to the number of jobs created under Democrats vs. Republicans?
