Not the first article in this vein, but it needs to be said a lot right now.
Yeah, there’s a lot of cheeky “hurr, thanks for finally catching up!” in response to all these recent articles about Trump being an ignorant, bigoted dictator wannabe, and while none of them are wrong, it’s just not useful commentary. All this self-servinf political-intellectual one-upsmanship only serves to talk down to people who are finally coming around to the reality of the situation, and I’d much rather be glad it’s finally being said than jerk myself off over the fact that I’ve known it for the past 8 years.
I get that it’s frustrating to have mainstream media only finally admitting to Trump’s anti-democratic position as early ballots are beginning to make things look like he’s losing this race, but it’s just not constructive conversation. Spread the word, get more people exposed to this, rather than lording it over others that it’s old news.
Yup. Theres plenty of boomers who scroll Facebook and see all their politics from their conservative friends/families/ad networks/russian social bots and been fed that rhetoric, but also will get a newspaper delivered like the NYT. Here’s hoping whatever impact it can make, it will make
