Your American allies.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Dear all foreign friends outside the United States,
Our country is big. Like really big. Like so much bigger than you ken. Our states are bigger than many countries, and there's 50 of them.
So when you wonder why we are not all marching on DC
I live 2,500 miles (4000 km) from the White House

Has anybody seen any self-reflection from the people who said that identity politics was the biggest threat in American life even as authoritarianism was on the rise?
Has anybody seen any self-reflection from the leftists like Stancil who ignored warnings from liberals that going off the deep end on race/gender essentialism would enable bigoted Republicans to win?
By the way, has anyone seen, at any point, any amount of self-reflection from Chait et al about how all their personal bugbears later became the spearhead for fascist campaigns of harassment and discrimination
