Yeah, I think people underestimate how much the country is still mad that no one went to prison for '08.
It's not really a partisan thing either. There's a sense *someone* caused all this pain, and they got away with it.
It's sort of reactionary, but very broad based.

The real question is--why do so many Americans believe the MAHA message, despite it being so obviously false?
And I'd argue--it's because that message offers both a sense of control in the face of uncertainty and a sense of moral superiority as a reward for good health.
Let me explain... 1/🧵

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”
That is dangerously false.

This lie will *never* be corrected inside the Trump Bubble, and it will be used by MAGA's faithful to justify real-world violence.

MAGA’s Lies About a Deep State Conspiracy to Assassinate Trump Will Endure
Trump’s minions are spreading falsehoods about a boilerplate FBI document, and it could inspire the same kind of chaos as the Big Lie about the 2020 election.

I've long believed that a core facet of the conservative mindset is that they struggle to think of people they don't know as PEOPLE. To the furniture restorer, the Jamaican carpenter is a person,but not an immigrant, because "immigrant" is a caricature of a dangerous Other, not a category of person.

This was not created by the Black radical feminists who came up with identity politics theory. They described something that already existed.
The way this hegemony flattens the intersectionality and complexity and subjectivity of humanity and turns people into objects.

I despise the dismissively uttered phrase “Never heard of it.” Well, you’re hearing of it now, jackass, and everyone you have heard of was once something you’d never heard of.
This is entirely different from “I’ve never heard of that,” spoken in a tone of curiosity.

Our brains have evolved to create words and form #language; once formed, that language is how our brains operate. So words are strength, also weakness; politicians, depending on their character, focus on either
