Jarvis: His generals called him fascist. Joe Scarborough called him fascist, and now the fascist is in charge and it is journalism's job to cover it that way, not to back off and say okay, well that's it, we lost. Let the fascism happen. No

The fact that Trump lied on the most important issue to his voters should be atop every U.S. publication. It begins the process of informing Trump voters that they were conned—which they were.
And that's precisely why major media will do no such thing.
It'll cover for Trump and call it neutrality.

What are everyone's thoughts on friends/family who voted 3rd party or abstained? Or won't say who they voted for?
Is it as disqualifying as voting for Trump, and therefore relationship-ending?

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

What disappoints me most about his supporters is that their entire platform is about HURTING others.
Taking away rights.
Taking away benefits.
Taking away a path to citizenship.
It’s a platform based on cruelty.
They hate their lives and prefer if everyone suffered rather than solving it.
Sad.

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x
