And that’s not sustainable & it legitimately terrifies me to the point I’ve had conversations with right wing former friends that were so devoid of basic facts of reality that I still stay up at night sometimes thinking about how far gone they are

A child in an Idaho faith-healing family died of a treatable condition.

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.
