«Donald Trump’s most enduring legacy—a nihilistic political culture, one that is tribalistic, distrustful, and sometimes delusional, swimming in conspiracy theories. The result is that Americans are disoriented and frustrated, fearful of and often enraged at one another.»

A lie can go halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its boots. If only there was a central repository of accurate truth maintained by conscientious curators.
Wikipedia has flaws but I believe it’s the closest we’ve got right now, and I believe it’s worth money. I just donated. (Please do, too.)

Hey @BulwarkOnline, standing athwart history, yelling “stop!”, eh?
«Less often noted is the counternarrative that began to build among McCarthy’s grass-roots supporters during those years, in which the sheer volume of criticism aimed at the senator became proof that he was right all along: that the country was, indeed, run by a menacing but elusive liberal-communist conspiracy aimed at taking down right-thinking, God-fearing Americans. Among those who signed on to this idea was William F. Buckley, the wunderkind intellectual of the emerging conservative movement, hot off the success of his anti-socialist polemic “God and Man at Yale.” In 1954, Buckley published a second book, co-written with his brother-in-law L. Brent Bozell, a future McCarthy staffer and speechwriter, in which they argued that the merits of McCarthy’s cause largely outweighed qualms about his style and methods. In a sign of the combative lost-cause ethos already taking hold among McCarthy’s supporters, they titled the book “McCarthy and His Enemies.”»

Hey, Georgia. I’m not bothering you because I know tons of others are, but don’t think I don’t care.
Read the article. Executing this man is not right. Scheduled for Dec. 10.
Honestly, is this what the Republican party stands for? I think it is.
