This thread. Predominantly white male newsrooms need to be constantly reminded how to report what actually happened rather than "both sides" bullshit.
It's important for everybody to understand that last night's debate is a microcosm for how Trump treats everything. "Fuck your rules. I will cover over any disadvantage against me with chaos."
What we are seeing is that this is a tactic that Very Serious White Men are essentially powerless against. Without the ability force people into their preferred frame of "civility" and "decorum", they don't know what to do. They are caught flat-footed.
They employee the "civility and decorum" shit against the rest of us all the time. And it works because we don't have the power to get away with pushing back. They can levy serious consequences against us for not conforming. But they can't do that to Trump.
There is an alternate universe where these Very Serious White Men would be learning a valuable lesson about how things got this way in the first place. Unfortunately it's not this universe. They aren't gonna learn shit.
