That. was. devastating. and what a fucking capper:

The political theorist Hannah Arendt once wrote that the most successful totalitarian leaders of the 20th century instilled in their followers “a mixture of gullibility and cynicism.” When they were lied to, they chose to believe it. When a lie was debunked, they claimed they’d known all along—and would then “admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.” Over time, Arendt wrote, the onslaught of propaganda conditioned people to “believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.”

I am…failing to see how we pick up the pieces of reality and sanity when destroying it over and over just seems so easy. My only hopeful light is “this isn’t the first time, and we made it this far.” but even that is tempered by the lack of overall progress, and how far from justice and peace we were before this national nightmare.

Wow.

I hope people pay attention to this. For me it’s sort of like when it was publicized that Trump stiffs employees/contractors. To paraphrase, this is a bad (or sick) guy.

I just can’t get past the reply from someone who “can’t decide between Bloomberg & Warren.” Huh? You can’t decide between a billionaire trying to buy a candidacy and one of the two candidates who want to un-billionaire all the billionaires?

So who’s ready to watch the presidential debates between Andrew Yang and Kanye West in four years?

They’re both smart?

Neither one is a “career politician”?

No, probably just astroturf from Bloomberg trying to make him seem more “plausible”
