In THE HOLOCAUST IS OVER, WE MUST RISE FROM ITS ASHES, Avraham Burg describes introducing his French wife to his Holocaust survivor father, who--when he learns that she was born in Strasbourg--angrily turns to his son and says "That's not France, that's Germany! Bismarck got it back for us!"
also a classic instance of how propaganda works. the most embedded stuff is the stuff you are taught when you are a small child as 'geographical facts', in the same way that even anti-CCP PRC citizens can sometimes turn into rabid nationalists about South China Sea rocks

indeed while the media was clearly waiting (and wanting) a big moment to go absolutely apeshit about Biden's age, even without it the last year? of Biden's Presidency was an endless drip drip drip of the media "raising questions" and then Biden would break through with a speech or event
a lot of people see the debate (and the reaction to it) as some kind of singularity, but really I see it more as a starting gun on an event already set up, the media had been aggressively dripping poison about Biden's age and ability for months (years)

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

what i suspect here is that for Trump himself, accusations of fascism are viewed as "keyfabe" by either side
During his visit to the White House, NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani was asked about a recent interview in which he called President Trump a fascist. Mamdani began to answer the question before Trump jokingly cut him off.

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

The release of this Epstein information about Trump does now put the Democratic Party retreat into a rather different context from a few days ago.
Everyone in the Dem leadership would have been aware about what was about to drop.
