A new era dawns. America’s tech bros now strut their stuff in the corridors of power

The era that began with the Great Disruptor’s first term is over. Beware the emerging elite

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?

It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

The New Republic

@_noelamac_ @rahmstorf This. I note also the absence of significant public-service broadcasters - yes, there's NPR. Barely. Perhaps Dem states should get together and found national, evidence based public-service broadcasters, like in Germany, on cable and Internet. Democracies with public-service broadcasters just function better.

And they'll have to get together anyway to create a support system for internal refugees from red states, and many other things, so...

@_noelamac_ @rahmstorf Remarkable how the author still blames liberals for everything. "Do something about it" is just victim blaming. Or is it just "rich liberal" people, an oxymoron, that they see as actors, because in their heart they don't believe in democracy but they hope to be saved by the nicer billionaires?

And why do they still copy rightwing language to call media like NYT mainstream in the same article that they lay out that Fox is the mainstream? This grates me in many ways
