They're fully aware that the vast majority of these people won't move. They just also know that saying they will makes for a better headline.

I know this is really low on the list of things to object to, but if you're going to throw a Gatsby themed party, at least stay on theme. Play some Duke Ellington or Benny Goodman or something.

The next step is often to blame the bot on some foreign actor like Russia or China. A lot of people feel far more comfortable believing the hatred infesting the country is coming from outside saboteurs.

Immediately after Kent State, polling found that 58% of Americans blamed the students. It's perhaps one of the greatest examples of "one day everyone will have always been against this".

Definitely. It has some overly wordy dialogue that you sometimes see from the era, but if you can get past that it easily earns its reputation.
There's a reason why pretty much every Titans thing since then just adapts that run to one degree or another.

The appeal to couch the right's support of Israel in a fundamentalist doomsday cult prophecy is that it makes it so easy to dismiss with a simple "these people are just crazy".
There are people with that conscious motivation, but far more is racism and nationalism, which is harder to contend with.

Something like that would probably get immediately struck down due to the compact clause. It would be one of the select times that the SC would remember the constitution exists.

You had me worried for a bit that you were going to start defending White Knight.
"Look at my critique where Batman's actually the bad guy and Joker is the good guy, but to make that point I have to wildly change everyone's history, behavior, and personality"
