I can't get over this New York Times headline saying Ron DeSantis is "building his brand" by wrecking public education in Florida. It reminds me of NYT’s first mention of Hitler in 1922, which claimed his anti-Semitism wasn’t “genuine” or “violent” but was just “bait” to attract followers. From 1922 to 2023, NYT is still covering fascists from a marketing perspective rather than a moral perspective.

@markjacob its dreadful. Obergruppenfuhrer DeSantis is Hitler reincarnated. It would be nice if journalists actually knew something or cared about history and what violent sociopaths like Hitler & Stalin did in the 1930s and early 1940s. They weren’t “building their brands”. They were committing genocide.

That is where DeSantis is headed.
