Preach, my gnarly friend.

Unfortunately, democracies don’t do well when the majority treat politics like a spectator sport. And the cheerleaders for MAGAism don’t care that they’re destroying the lives of many of their own loyal fans.

Yes, Ma’am. Will do. But that treasonous SOB doesn’t get to own the name Vance any more than MAGA gets to own “USA.”

Bless you for wading into that cesspool of radioactive sludge. How do you get clean after?

Salute, Ms Vance! You’ve been as clear as anyone about what’s happening, and you’ve kept your reports civil. Right now, maintaining civility is a superpower.

Fox News is shocked…SHOCKED… that anyone has a problem with an unqualified, unconfirmed billionaire, surrounded by a bro posse acting like they own your country, making false accusations with no transparency or accountability. They are confronting and firing public servants who are heroes.

Their actions don't fit what they claim to believe, and this article touches on why. It's not an article about MAGA, but about human nature and the nature of belief. It starts to explain why facts don't matter any more—to many Americans, any way. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
