Donald Trump is asking voters in Pennsylvania again to make him leader of a “failed nation." Kamala Harris countered from a Michigan church pulpit that God offers America a “divine plan strong enough to heal division."
Forget about the nominally right wing media, look at how the NY Times have covered every threat to democracy, ever. From Hitler to the business plot to Trump.
This is the mistake people always make with an autocrat. They the think they’ll be allowed to keep or amass the power the have, but only one person is allowed power in an autocratic regime.
Unfortunately that profile in courage Jeff Bezos is more concerned about Trump potentially messing with his government contracts than threatening to have Washington Post reporters killed.
Trump's backers, and especially Peter Thiel, whom JD Vance is an avatar for (Thiel put forward Vance as VP to Trump, and had sponsored Vance's entire political career, which is only two years old), all read Curtis Yarvin.
Yarvin is Silicon Valley's chosen "philosopher" - he advocates for the end of democracy and a return to monarchy, with billionaires as royalty and monarchs.
Stop giving Bezos the benefit of the doubt. There is no evidence that he's doing shit in Trump's favor for any reason other than that he likes fascism and wants to support it.
I actually always believed that Bezos was a Democrat, given his ownership of the Post, which has always had a clear anti-Trump message. I think it’s more plausible that he was scared of retaliation or that the GOP has something on him.
