I think it's time we start covering Trumpism for what it is now.

It's no longer a political movement. It's a violent fairytale of revenge on political enemies.

Feds could've found a body in those Mar a Lago boxes and followers wouldn't care. It's about retribution, not facts.

Calling things what they were well before the media and the rest of the population. I think we’re going to start seeing that shortly, within the next month or so.

I think the DNI damage report will be damning. Also, while much of any FBI reporting will be heavily redacted, it will be remarkably easy to read between the lines and conclude that TFG committed espionage.

It may take a few days, but we’re going to see pushback on Graham and Hawley essentially calling for violence, Possibly even a new line of FBI investigations.

Biden’s comment about Semi Fascism Might have been the starting pistol for that line of reporting and commentary.

Granted, much of this can fall into the wishful thinking, or even magical thinking, category. But I don’t think so.

crucial definition here. think litter boxes in school johns and naked cartoon mice.
that's the ammo of the culture wars.
the correct response is gales of laughter.
