in 2020, these guys who fancied themselves the world's true leaders bore witness to the power of a large-scale social movement so big that it could shift public policy and strip power from them within their own organizations. it undermined their entire sense of themselves and they lost their minds.
i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

Chris Murphy calls Kristi Noem on the carpet and SHREDS her.
Brilliantly, incisively, THOROUGHLY.
