It's worth reading through the whole thing, not just these horrific excerpts. Most important: not a single person -- with the exception of a guy who says he'll turn on CNN if he's out of other options -- gets their news from actual journalists. It's all RW podcasts, YouTubers and TikTok.

Sadly, Trump saying that word would always going to open up the floodgates. When Trump won, FT quoted a banker saying he felt "liberated" to say "pussy and retard." When Trump said the word, Jack Posobiec said "Trump just officially gave us the word retard back."

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.
