Whether it's garbage NYT left-bait or right wing flood-the-zone nonsense that we all pile on to, we are letting the wrong people set our overall information agenda in a very deep and fundamental way. And it's a very serious mistake.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasnât a rapist, given his ideological commitmentsâwhich is before you get to all the accusations.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not. They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today. They are a negotiation tacticâan effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.
