yes! i have been on this kick for awhile. at no point has a majority of the public ever said “yes, trump,” and the extent to which people really seem to believe otherwise is telling is something about who they think “the public” is

Imagine thinking your vote is a personal favor you give a candidate as a reward and not a choice of real world policy preferences that impact you and your fellow citizens.

The January 6th rioters were largely well-off, financially-stable professionals - and this popular, false idea they were mostly marginalized losers is a dangerous one that benefits the GOP.

Intrusive thought today is what if the NYT covered the Thomas & Alito bribery scandal the way they're covering the college presidents. Not just an endless stream of articles but framing it as though it's a shock and an obvious affront that they haven't resigned yet
I love how the New York Times, which ran more than five dozen articles on Gay and almost single handedly maintained the drumbeat for her resignation, switches into Neutral Observer Mode here.
