Thank you!
There's at least one person who tries to right what they've done wrong in it!
Generally I've found the Charlottesville guys feel like their ideas were taken by MAGA but they didn't get brought into power. One said he didn't lose the argument -- his ideas won, but he didn't get the recognition
Yes!! As a little intern
Be careful trying to decipher the true political beliefs of people wrapped in so many layers of irony they're not sure of their own true beliefs
Good moment to re-up one of the best pieces @ellereeve.bsky.social and I ever did at the Atlantic Wire.
And here's the long cut of the interview, where we talk about YouTube, Austin, Joe Rogan, RFK Jr, various "Roman salutes"

I'm not personally in favor of us entering the 10th year of endless Trump Safaris, but @ellereeve.bsky.social is uniquely good at doing profiles like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsn1...

thank you and I hope you find it illuminating
Thank you!!
The other thing that surprised me was that so many people really did buy into the idea that Musk is a genius and therefore uniquely qualified to execute Trump's vision

Everyone needs to read Black Pill by @ellereeve.bsky.social (the author of the screenshotted piece, who is in the trenches covering the worst people on the right): bookshop.org/p/books/blac...
