I keep harping on this, but many political commentators can't meaningfully predict right-wing behaviour because they insist on seeing them as "hypocrites" who will eventually collapse under their own cognitive dissonance.🧵
You might be familiar with Umberto Eco's list of common traits of fascism.
Today I want to talk about number 8, "The enemy is both strong and weak," and how it's also one of the core tenets of even the most mainstream right-wing politics 🧵

It's gotta be frustrating for journalists scraping by and doing great work to go to NY Times dot com and read a puff piece written by a nepo baby that whitewashes a journalist who had sex with a source and has now parlayed that into a new book and a job at Vanity Fair
