This bears repeating
This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.
In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.
Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

I’ve spent the last 18 months writing about the Roman Empire. In some ways, we’ve progressed immeasurably far in the last 1500 years. But there are still too many things about contemporary politics that I think would have felt all too familiar to them. I persist in my optimism that we can do better.

AOC makes a good point. And use of paper op-eds for trolling shows how much mainstream media is enshittified by mimicking social media.
“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
