Trump returning to a renamed rightwing Twitter and the NYT giving it breathless coverage is a perfect example of the fucking idiotic media environment we live in. They’ve got about 300 stories about the misunderstood Trump voters in diners planned, stenographers ready to transcribe his every utterance on social media, and a host of “liberal” commentators chomping at the bit to write the next “has wokeness gone too far” piece. The upper class enlightened centrists of the paper may thoroughly disavow him at their dinner parties, but they’re fucking in love with the idea of humanizing fascism, because having the opinion that racism, transphobia, and domestic terrorism are bad and should be fought against is just so boring.
