Have to give Krugman credit here. Prestige media columnists constantly talk about the "bubble" liberals allegedly occupy, but treat the conservative stolen election/destroyed cities/great reset fantasies of MAGA folks as a legitimate worldview. It's like a rule! Think back to the Trump voter diner safaris. That model -- the minority of voters who voted for a celebrity thug should be treated as representatives of a fascinating, legit political movement rather than as manipulable nihilists whose manipulators got lucky -- started there.

Among this weekend's People's Convoy Rush Hour Reenactors tweets, this was the standout. You always get extra points from me for referencing the "Antifa burned Washington to the ground" bullshit.

The daily insistence by Rod Dreher that economic sanctions on Putin are the same thing as the campaign for invasion in 2001 is especially funny to those of us who were around in 2001 and opposed that campaign while Dreher was embracing it. At the simplest level, I think Dreher is just embarrassed -- which to someone like him is an existential crisis. theamericanconservative.com/dreher/putin-o…

Lotta people don't notice the madly anti-vaccine news skew at the Falun Gong paper Epoch Times. Here, the implication is that the U.S. military is going to force our poor, brave soldiers to... get vaccinated. Lotta this kinda "skeptic" shit too

One of those times when a couple of Catholics are talking theology and one of them spurts out this weird sick thing and you go, "ah, that one must be the conservative." (Weirdo deleted it so)

Rod Dreher's been in Hungary a couple of months and it's really helping him be more comfortable with his fascism. Also, Dreher hopes that the typical excuse for shitty conservative governance in America -- sure we're ripping you off, but we're protecting you from the blacks and the gays! -- also works in Hungary.

The loathsome Andrew C. McCarthy sees which way rightwing discourse on Chauvin is going and now pushes this “it wasn’t Chauvin, it was the unforgiving asphalt” bullshit. McCarthy eventually gets around to his original “jury was fully justified” assessment. But what are @NRO readers going to take away from this — assuming they ever get that far? nationalreview.com/2021/04/what-t…

Pairs nicely with Peggy Noonan’s new column about how the system works and now we should all be extra nice to cops and give them more money. You think I’m kidding? wsj.com/articles/a-mea…

Erick Erickson apotheosizes the conservative argument on Atlanta: It was not about racism or even misogyny, but about pornography and how the media “target white supremacy and Christian evangelicals,” the real victims. ImageImage Erickson is as always a froth-fountain of incoherent rage, but his incoherence reveals more about the rightwing mindset than the feeble attempts at argument by slightly less deranged conservatives.

Clarence Thomas' shenanigans with the Penn election vote should be seen in the context of other rightwing battles to rewrite the story of the 2020 election and its attempted reversal with themselves as the heroes. also lol

Surveillance and the high cost of living have made it harder than it was to just say fuck this job — which I seriously believe is why society is so deranged now. 1/2 It used to be that if you just got mad and quit, even if you had no resources, it’s didn’t take too much to get back on your feet — you could find some other shitty job quick and the loss wasn’t bad.

But things have changed. (Cont.)
