Excellent point re Donald Trump.
Notice how he sues everyone who has ever said anything bad about him EXCEPT the survivors who are saying he raped them as children? Odd

One way to think of this, of course, is that American collapse didn't happen quickly at all. The decade-long paralysis of the Senate, the 40-year court project to strip the constitution like a burlesque show: by the time the fascists moved into the house, the gut renovation was almost done.
One theme here is the speed of American institutional collapse.
“It took Erdoğan 15 years to do what Trump did in 100 days. If [Americans] do not accept the fact that this is a long game, and it will be brutal, I think you won’t have the patience and stamina to bear it.”

It's profoundly different to cover a U.S. president than state or local officials, and too, much harder to vent publicly if you're female. But if in my reporting days, if anyone from a police sergeant to the mayor of Baltimore told me, "Quiet, piggy," I'd immediately insist he go fuck himself.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.
