I don't think there's been a definitive unpacking of how the U.S. has been subject to forty-plus years of Reaganism propaganda. I think most Americans do not realize we are still living under Reaganism. It's like the water we swim in - most people can't see it.
Republicans are counting on 40+ years of Reaganism and prosperity-gospel propaganda to make sure Americans who can't afford food will blame themselves and not their govt. So far, generally, they've been right about that. We need to cure this country from Reaganism as quickly as possibly.
I really don't think they've thought the ramifications of letting snap run out if money

A lot of people are pretty freaked out by the current political state of affairs and carrying on because they don't know what else to do, except out one foot in front of the other.
And I think a lot of Very Online folks mistake that for "normie" indifference

I didn't know how much I needed to see the cover of Abbey Road recreated by Sumo wrestlers until I saw it.
One of my algorithms has decided that I want sumo wrestlers in London content, and I am thrilled to report that they are right.

It's impossible to make a "slippery slope" argument against this administration because they spend all day greasing up the slopes themselves.

The Onion is really killing it lately. The headline is flat out hilarious, and while the piece is a bit long it really captures that deadpan sense of heightened absurdity Americans associate with the best British humor.

We take it for granted today, but a single bag of Herr’s Sour Cream & Onion chips contains more currency than a peasant in the 1400s would get in his whole lifetime.

NYT leadership might position themselves as "moderate" and they might even identify as such, but their class position aligns them with Trump, Silicon Valley, and the owning class generally.
They're crypto-fascists in motivation and in action. There isn't any need to assume that they're delusional.

it’s easy to just say “they’re conservatives” and be done with it, but my best read is that Sulzberger et al are in fact moderate Democrats who believe that the left is responsible for the rise of Trump, and they believe that beating the left back and defeating Trump are a singular project

As a Jew I am far, FAR more alarmed by our institutions equating me and other Jews with the IDF, who are responsible for the murder of over 80,000 Palestinians, by dint of framing any critique against the IDF as ‘antisemitism.’
Linking all Jews to the IDF is *actual* fucking antisemitism.
