the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland
Thinking back to how people were "hysterical" for calling trump white supremacist and now he's doing nordic theory on the campaign trail

Gently, I say to you that I will mute and then block for derailing defensiveness when the thread itself is generally being engaged above board. We all have a lot on our hands. And I love the micro community of a good thread but defensiveness kills it every time. I will try to protect the community

Buncha folks have already righteously commented on the substance of the NYT's bullshit defensiveness on their demonstrable fuckery, but I wish also to comment on an adjacent problem, which is mainstream/legacy pubs assuming they are essentially immune to criticism or correction
The New York Times’s body of reporting on the American Medical Association’s stance on gender-related care for minors is accurate and factual, and remains so despite the recent statement from the Chair of the A.M.A. Board, which contradicts the A.M.A.’s own statements. www.nytco.com/press/fact-c...
