The People and Their Rulers Increasingly Loathe Each Other. And it’s going to get worse. Going to the beach in a red state like Florida was deemed the action of a death cult. Going to a Black Lives Matter/Antifa riot in Kenosha was deemed a salvific form of public health.

Something about the Trump phenomenon caused his opponents, as much as his supporters, to “abandon their moral, ethical, and professional standards.”

No, those were gone decades ago. Did this guy sleep through GWB's terms? And the two each before and after?

This is no unique critical moment. It's the same shit with fewer inhibitions, because supposed journalists give themselves a blank slate so nothing they do can be held against them.

The fact you are calling them rulers without any argument in a democracy with a directly elected head of state says everything.

I wonder if this is all the result of AI on social media. Perhaps AI is taking over.
