And this is how fascism wins. It convinces moderates to stop using the correct language to name what our enemy is and make no mistake. Trump and the Republicans are a fascist anti-democratic enemy to every real American who believes in the Constitution and rule of law. Do not stay silent.

This is an excellent story on an excellent observation. Thanks, Greg.

Remarkable finding in new Marist poll: By 68-32, voters say they're more concerned about a president who doesn't tell the truth than one who is too old to serve. Maybe we should cover Trump's serial lying as a sign of his unfitness for the presidency. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1837...

Shocker Poll Suggests Trump’s Lying May Be Huge Weakness for Himnewrepublic.com One possible reason the polls haven’t moved as much as pundits expected: Voters still don’t like or trust Trump. Can the Democrats shift focus to that?

“The fact that the press — which spent 2016 obsessed with Hillary’s emails — is now singularly focused on the ‘risks’ posed by Biden is a symptom of a civil ailment that has left us at risk of being overcome by the disease that is Trump’s neo-fascism.”

An interesting question is why journalists don't see Donald Trump's command of the issues as relevant to the question of which candidate's mental acuity should be centered in media coverage of the campaign.

Whatever the verbal flubs, Biden’s command of the issues is sharp here. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/07...

People are holding Biden to a standard that he has never met in his entire life due to a speech impediment and is wholly unrelated to senility.

Project 2025 is terrifying. The people behind it are also weird. Meet John McEntee, who ran personnel for Trump's White House. He also runs a shady "dating" app for lonely MAGA men. The marketing for the app is more pathetic than you're imagining. www.salon.com/2024/07/10/t...

This confirms my priors very satisfyingly. The irritating replies confirm an entirely different set of priors about why the Internet is a bad place.
