Important to understand the Trump regime as an occupying force designed to destroy American governance, so that it can be replaced by theocracy (Vought), fascism (Miller), or Elysium (Thiel).
"When Trump there’s something wrong with a country that allows [media criticism of him], he’s really saying there’s something wrong with America. That’s the central feature of the whole thing: The government answers to us."

This is an amazing story about journalistic cowardice at the Bulwark. So many receipts.
The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look.
