Seems a bit defensive. I'm sure no one can find any headlines from NYT talking about the crowd size at conservative rallies?

I feel like, for this part at least, we're already 100% there
In this America, the press would be owned - in large part, though not entirely - by the regime's favored and trusted oligarchs. These individuals would be able to control what enough Americans see to swing several percentage points of marginal voters from the "persuadable" to "solid R" column, putting Democrats at a severe disadvantage.

Anything that includes the word "deportation abundance" is not a "set of good ideas" and needs some serious ideological pruning

This is absolutely deranged. He thinks bluesky blocked Mississippi for ideological reasons??
Although Blueskyism is small, its practitioners mostly consist of people within the professional-managerial class: (over)educated blue-state liberals, perhaps people who have drawn the short straw of elite overproduction. You can see that in the demographic data, or in the attitude site management takes: the platform literally just banned people from Mississippi because of a dispute over age verification.

Wait what? Wtf Bernie.
Some early supporters of the agreement- including tech giants like Microsoft and Trump critics like Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)-have praised the deal as allowing the US to profit off billions in CHIPS grants that Intel was awarded under the Biden administration. "If microchip companies make a profit from the generous grants they receive from the federal government, the taxpayers of America have a right to a reasonable return on that investment," Sanders said.
