I wrote about the “Democrats in Disarray” fallacy in Wait, What in ⁦@TheAtlanticnewsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/6216…
But journalists don’t need to accuse Democrats of extremism just because the Republican Party has hardened against democracy, nullified Roe in Texas, and are now pushing bills like “Don’t Say Gay”....

I wrote about the truckers in Canada in “Wait, What” in ⁦@TheAtlanticnewsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/620d…
“But if you listen to the videos of the leaders and many of the prominent figures, what you’ll hear is QAnon- and sovereign-citizen-inflected ideas about Justin Trudeau being the illegitimate son of Fidel Castro..." @HeerJeet told me.

I wrote about how Roe is popular and Democrats should use it to remind people that the Supreme Court is out of step with the country in ⁦@voguemagazinevogue.com/article/why-ar…
“Reproductive rights will be at the center of midterm elections across the country because there isn’t a single state where banning abortion would be popular, and voters do not want politicians controlling their personal health decisions,” @alexismcgill

“In the rare instances where they think a development may be so significant that it could pierce the bubble, they’ll distract or deflect or offer a counternarrative to latch onto” @GoAngelo told me.
