Any media outlets that don’t address this video of Trump wearing a crown dumping shit on Americans is normalizing it.
As with everything else this authoritarian regime does, you’re either calling it out or normalizing it. There is no third option.

If nothing else I find it obscene to turn governmental agencies that are meant to function as institutions in service of the entire American political community into overtly partisan propaganda mouthpieces.
It’s just such a visceral degeneration of civic life it drives me insane.
