Unlike some of my friends I am not inclined to give up on the NYT entirely, but stuff like this drives me nuts, not (just) because the author has completely retconned reality (self-styled “libertarian” men love(d) DT), but bec the NYT knows this and ran it anyway, as pure clickbait

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.
It was a "sideshow," I was told.

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good
