Jim always seemed like a standup guy, and I appreciate what he went through in defense of his principles, but this is just dumb. Because this very definitely is who we are. Or at least, this is who 49.8% of American voters are, and they won, so, yeah, this is who we are.
We’re the bad guys now, Jim We’re a pariah nation now. To quote Rachael from “Batman Begins”, you may think we’re the same awesome country you thought we were long ago...
Of course, in the case of Batman, Bruce Wayne really was more than what he appeared to be His billionaire wastrel act…was an act. It was designed to disguise his real identity as a crimefighting vigilante.
In the case of Republican voters, the opposite is true.
They are so much less than the legacy media built them up to be. So much weaker and stupider. So much crueler and more racist. Which was always obvious to anyone who bothered to really look at what they were saying and doing. What they were voting for. Who they were watching and listening to. Who they hated.
So Jim, here’s a riddle for you.
Q: How was the legacy media and American fascism like Trump and COVID?
A: They both believed if they refused to count a potentially fatal problem, that meant problem really didn't exist.
Also, an apropos of nothing, my inbox is overflowing with former legacy media types and former Republicans whose Substacks I am following out of a sense of obligation. And it is fast becoming unmanageable, because
- I don't need three updates a day telling me what you're up to. I'm not your mommy of your parole officers. And especially...
- Most of their content is either telling me things I have already known for a long time, or conversations among A-list political media people who are only now discovering the horrible truth about the Republicans party that we Liberals have been writing about for decades.
As always...
I Am The Liberal Media
