We've only been aware of Trump's racism since a 1973 article about his real estate company refusing the rent apartments to black people, the first ever mention of his name in the NYT. That's why his Obama meme comes as a total shock. Who knew?

Honestly, something could have been done about shit stains like Gaiman and Whedon a long time ago.
Stories were out there.
Instead we got "NO! We like those pests! They said a thing we liked that one time! It's okay when our fave does it!"
Until the cries got so loud you couldn't ignore it.

Spoiler for this thread, Isaac Asimov was a sexpest.
Why don't they say anything?
Well, because when it happens to YOU, if you say something, that's frequently the ballgame. You get driven out of your community; you get to see what the people you thought loved you look like with the masks off. And way, way too many of them are monsters.

Our opponents’ biggest weakness is that they have no impulse control and will double down forever, no matter how bad of an idea it is. Every mistake becomes a Vietnam War-level unpopular quagmire. They can’t help themselves.

The Epstein Files has created a referendum on ethics in public life. For years, the savvy perspective has been that you shouldn't care about a politician or CEO's personal ethics at all as long as they get the job done, and not about their professional ethics unless it's a maaajor felony.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

It is fun sometimes to take lies at face value. For example, it would be a scandal if a random staffer has access to post anything they want on the President's social media, it is basically giving the access to the biggest loudspeaker on the planet, and would be ripe for potential abuse.
