I imagine Applebaum means this rhetorically, but in case others really are wondering: turf, oil, China, and, probably the biggest distinct factor, the wildly outsize influence of the Nigerian Christian Right in the US Christian Right. One element of the attack was fan service for fundamentalists.

Freight trains. Box cars. Stuff them full. And then a quick selection when they arrive at the detention facility to identify those capable of good, hard work. For additional profit, also check for gold in their teeth and smuggled currency.

Bari Weiss’ CBS is what the tech fascists mean by creating “parallel” journalism.
Create new fake brands (“The Free Press”) or hollow out existing brands and replace with right-wing clones.
Or both!

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.
