Patrick McHale's Emmy-winning masterpiece gets a proper physical media release. One of the best things Cartoon Network Studios has ever produced, and that's something I don't say lightly.
If you can get this next year, add it to your library.

In physical media news, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will be releasing "OVER THE GARDEN WALL" on Blu-ray on April 7, 2026, per a listing on Barnes and Noble's website. First Blu-ray release of a Cartoon Network original in 10 years.

Whatever you think of it, the conservatism of the pre-Trump GOP required beliefs. Trump said “You need not believe anything. Luxuriate in your basest hatreds and resentments forever. No thinking required, just the endless catharsis of grievance, as long as you also celebrate my name, my person.”

But the secret to Trump’s power is that his fascistic politics, while separate and often hostile to the GOP’s movement conservativism, were perfectly tuned to the endlessly permissive phantasmagoria of Fox News - and later, the internet and social media.

He doesn’t want government reduction, he wants government EXPANSION - just, the parts that celebrate and protect him. He doesn’t want to cut agencies like the Dept. of Ed because of an ideological commitment to reduced bureaucracy, but because they do not glorify him or give him armed men.

I doubt Trump’s ever owned a gun and he certainly doesn’t care about it. He doesn’t care about abortion beyond loathing women and not wanting them to have his babies. He doesn’t care about small government. He’s an effeminate NYC dandy with narcissistic personality disorder.

Trump isn’t even pro-corporate or pro-market! He’s a mafia shakedown artist who is crushing the economy by extorting everyone in sight, inserting himself directly into private companies and looting their profits. His support for rich people is conditional on their support for him. Personality cult.

Before Trump, these were not major forces in GOP politics. The fear was a movement conservative president, who believed in small government, gun rights, was a devout evangelical, would turn power over to the markets through deregulation, would protect the rich and corporations. Not this.

The only ideological principles to be found anywhere in Trump’s administration are the purely fascistic notions of advancing racial purity, that the will of the nation is embodied in an all-powerful leader, and that national degeneracy must be destroyed.

Trump has historical antecedents and analogues, but they are mostly not American - they’re foreign strongmen like Putin and Orban. His politics are overtly fascistic in a way Bush’s people never were, even if he sometimes practices them in the key of post-9/11 rah-rah Americanism. Sort of.

Bush’s admin was corrupt, and so is Trump’s, but that’s not enough of a commonality. Trump’s corruption is different in kind and orders of magnitude greater; he is auctioning off every national institution and turning the White House into the Trump Co. There isn’t even really a historic analogue.

Trump was not in any sense an ideological movement conservative. He was not a theocrat. He is perhaps the least religious and ideological man to ever hold the presidency. He explicitly campaigned against Bush and company from the start. He was an invader, a demagogue with a cult of personality.

The Republican Party changed not on account of Bush, but on account of Fox: the creation of an ever-expanding media bubble that conservatives could opt to live inside, where their every fantasy was indulged as true. This bubble was created as an instrument of movement conservatism, but consumed it.
Like virtually everyone else , Will forgets that Trump in fact ran for president prior to 2016, and barely registered. In fact what happened in between that the Republican Party fundamentally changed and most of that is on account of Bush.

There are lots of cultural indicators of the great food expansion out there if you pay attention! It’s just gone unnoticed in the public consciousness - one day sushi was a strange, exotic, urban affectation, and then then next everyone ate it regularly. This happened like 10-15 years ago max

Bari Weiss' reporting experience is summed up by the time the NYT bizarrely gave her the cushiest possible assignment - go to Australia and hang out and write about it - and she produced a story so bad and so wrong about basic facts of Australian life that it became a running joke there.
