Definitely an overlooked point: The authoritarian far right, including its white nationalist iterations, are self-consciously global in scope and liberals need to adapt to that:
The movement to destroy liberal democracy is international, and so must be its defense
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

MeToo was the only reason people started caring about Epstein, btw.
Everything Epstein did was more or less public knowledge for decades prior, but only after the social consciousness of "rape by powerful men is bad actually" hit, did it get taken seriously, starting with Miami Herald's work.

MeToo did not go far enough. People were saying "MeToo has gone too far" when it had barely just picked up momentum.
It was an attempt at reckoning with how institutionally misogynistic and sexually exploitative most institutions are and what women are constantly put through. So it was crushed.

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke...
Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

A tangential point but it is humiliating as a feminist—and a sign of the ways that endemic misogyny abridges women’s citizenship and dignity—that someone like Klein can be considered authoritatively well informed about American politics while also knowing so little about the politics of abortion.
The thing he's said about running anti-abortion Dems in red states is a great example of this, since of course deep red states have voted over & over to protect abortion rights.
He's uniquely poorly situated to talk about this insofar as the problem might be mainly social identity, not policy.

Excellent thread. I'll just add that there's a long history of blaming liberals for reactionary political dynamics that were cultivated by coordinated political campaigns by the far right. There is no law of nature that produces "backlash politics." It's politics (and propaganda) that produces it.
To put all this much shorter: the right's vaccine denialism is not the left's fault. They didn't arrive at that skepticism because of something the left did. They SAY that, of course, because they blame the left for everything, but liberals don't have to take them at their word! They lie a lot!
