Blinkered — a cartoon by Michael de Adder
I dunno, historically speaking, "Maybe we can get the good things we want by working with the Nazis" is more of the blinkered view
If you are so blinkered to think that Mark Andreessen and Peter Thiel can never like a good idea, and so any idea they like must be cast into the fire, then you are going to make yourself stupid.

Does good work for her members I assume but wrong on tax, wrong on political funding, wrong on net zero. Every policy intervention is short-termist and blinkered

and that blinkered view is a function of the goal of a piece like this, which isn’t a quest for understanding as much as it is a quest for blame

These people are either just liars or almost unbelievably blinkered engineers with no business making decisions of any social consequence.

Chatterton isn’t the worst of the blinkered right wing pundits posing as centrists, but he’s probably the most insufferable
so @chatterton.bsky.social’s position is basically that i am a cult leader and that all of you are mindless hordes who have no actual thoughts and do not engage with substance

Sociologist C Wright Mills had a term for such ideologically blinkered “centrists” back in the days of the Cold War: Crackpot Realism.
Representatives Goldman and Espaillat really should have moderated their extreme views on Israel-Palestine policy, views which are increasingly out of step with their constituents and American voters in general. The price of not getting out of your “ideological bubble”

centrist elites on both sides of the pond are blinkered, self-loathing and unable to see politics as anything other than intra-elite discourse

in addition to being brazenly unprincipled, this is evidence that the conservatives KNOW trump is a mad king, but still want to imbue him with royal authority — against the well-documented history and tradition of the united states — out of their blinkered devotion to a narrow ideological project
This bespoke exception for the Fed is one of the most brazenly made-up things I've ever seen the Supreme Court do (which is saying something). There is no principled basis to distinguish the Fed from other independent agencies. The conservative justices just don't want Trump to crash the market!
The Supreme Court goes out of its way to say that its order today does NOT allow Trump to remove members of the Federal Reserve because it is "uniquely structured" and has a "distinct history tradition." (I do not think those distinctions hold water.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

there is a very specific kind of blinkered view that projects its own rational, secular, logical, institutionalist mindset onto everyone, and is shocked that other approaches to reality in fact exist

It says something truly profound about the blinkered view of the American pundit class that they only way they can understand a real war is through their own worn culture war framings.

Eager to see which of them is blinkered enough to come right out and say "this sort of thing happens, how sad, but it shouldn't happen to US."
this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

Maybe I'm blinkered, but shouldn't mail-in ballots be postage paid? Isn't requiring a stamp technically a poll tax?
Among the proposed changes in this conservative-backed Maine ballot measure: limiting towns/cities to 1 ballot dropbox apiece and banning them covering postage costs for people returning ballots in the mail.
Much more here on a measure that deserves your attention:

this is the story of both Musk and Trump. they discovered semi-accidentally that the establishment is too blinkered and chickenshit to enforce the laws as written, and kicked through that rotten door. but it's given them (particularly Musk) Mad Emperor Syndrome
