The biggest takeaway for me with all this ... whenever there is another level of stupidity in American government or the president ... is not how dumb he looks .... but instead about how the entire country just passively accepts it. How the media just rolls over it like it's normal now.
This country is fucked
If your "media" is owned by a large corporation or billionaire it's not media but propaganda.
The media is explicitly complicit in the rise of authoritarianism. I'd highly recommend the book "manufacturing consent", it should be required reading for all Americans at this point.
The privately controlled media that manipulated the image of this presidency, downplayed / ignored its failings, exaggerated the contempt for opponents and generally just passively accepted all this insanity as normal is not just complicit but an active participant in the rise and installation of authoritarianism in the US.
It's not an independent media any more ... it's a direct arm of corporate America ... the same corporate America that wants to usher in authoritarianism
Right? The press would never have let Biden or Obama forget that gaffe.
