"Trump at some level knows he’s failing politically, cognitively and physically and wants to take it all down with him, the way that ancient rulers were buried with their slaughtered horses and servants. He’s also, as mortality breathes down his neck, trying to grab some immortality by sticking his name on buildings and park passes and currency."

"It’s also evident that Trump wanted to come back into office in part to revenge himself on a country that in 2020 had rejected him, the way an ex-partner sometimes becomes a murderous stalker of the woman who dared to escape him, and specifically revenge himself on the individuals and institutions that had prosecuted him for crimes or otherwise thwarted him."

"A whole sector of mainstream media now functions as spirit mediums attempting to interpret Trump’s actions to try to fit them into the context of competent leadership and coherent and consistent agendas. If there was a coherent agenda, it would be a destructive one, a malevolent one."

"Studies, including by ScienceDirect, show professors are much more likely than in the past to be activists. Lewis and Klein epitomize the ideological trend."
"The economy was good. Wokeness was defeated."
The overweening greed of a cadre of super-rich men (and some women) and the captivity of media to those super-rich men (and some women) are among the most sordid stories of this sordid period of history. Such high, fine protestations of intellectua superiority and ethical insight — belied in such obvious ways by their bewhavior.

"America’s cultural elites needed a tool to stop progress. Sure, he was deranged. Sure, he was a criminal and a traitor. But the consequences of his reelection were unlikely to touch the elites while the consequences of the alternative very much would. So his liabilities were sanewashed & after he won, the press corps manufactured a consensus in which everything was going to be fine."

"We are now seeing the consequences of electing a cognitively impaired president – a democracy in tatters, a country at war, an economy on the brink – but that was the risk that the owners of the country’s most lucrative media properties were willing to take."
