No outrage was ever their fault. Every antisocial act excused by their pain. Every slur really just a joke. Every statement parsed for—and automatically receiving—the most charitable possible interpretation. Every momentary lapse to normalcy praised and taped to the refrigerator.
The US media has showed tomorrow’s monsters just how nightmarishly elastic they will be when faced with the challenge of normalizing the behaviors and beliefs of white racists and fascists. There was no limit.
Megyn Kelly, a racist, very much wants them to stay that way.
Media Is Not Supposed To Be Unbiased, It Is Supposed To Be Objective.
Any objective media would be *heavily* biased against liars, con artists, racists, thieves, and fascists.
Trump and MAGA should have received coverage *heavily* biased against them, and rarely did.

I really hate the phrase "political divide," which seems designed to paper over the fact that we have a major political party that's actively trying to demolish democracy in order to establish a genocidal autocratic police state.
The reason big houses should rethink conservative publishing is because the GOP is actively trying to demolish democracy in order to establish a genocidal autocratic police state, and while there's money to be made from publishing them, nobody should want to make money that way.
I'm not really trying to single out Publisher's Weekly, it's just "political divide" is an all-pervasive phrase unhelpful b/c it locates the problem with the divide rather than the cause.
It would be better replaced by "white supremacist autocracy" in almost all cases.
Addressing clear and present dangers to everyone’s lives is very divisive.
Biden needs zero Republicans to sign on to anything. Just kill the filibuster and pass everything with 50 votes and either bribe Joe Manchin or frighten him.
I would give thanks to The Lord for allowing me to observe a demonstration in self-sufficiency from two proud principled men who I know would rather die than take something they didn’t work for themselves.
I would simply have chosen to not fall to my death.
God put them on the cliff for a reason, just like He put me at the top of the cliff next to all these ropes and ladders for a reason. His ways are not for me to question, and His perfect plan is not for me to disrupt.
The Republican Party has spent my entire lifetime and longer leading to this. They've nurtured and tended and encouraged the lie of white supremacy to harness it to their own ends.
They're a white supremacist party. Fascists always eat their own.
Trump was not the cause of Republicanism. He was the result. Republicans created an equation that could only have ever produced something like him. They'll produce another, and worse, if they aren't politically destroyed.
Reality doesn't help fascism. The truth doesn't aid white supremacy. And so the Republican Party spent decades creating a malicious alternate reality for their followers to live in.
And now they all live there, with little hope of escape.
