Fucking cursed that he and his audience probably smugly thinks this is just about Trump. A Gosh Dang Cheeto cheeto-man is going to be back in the Whitehouse! What has America become!

When of course the brunch liberals are just as comfortably numb and ignorant in the face of American imperialism and catastrophic climate change requiring no more half measures.

Funny how liberals, who purport to be paragons of reason and intellect, will without fail reject any information that challenges their preconceptions. Both liberals and conservatives engage in dogmatic thinking that stifles their ability to consider the world as it really is. One of my favorite examples of this is the whole carbon tax thing in Canada. Liberals deride conservatives for rejecting the carbon tax, but then they get incredibly mad when you point out that the carbon tax isn't actually accomplishing anything in tangible terms. Turns out they don't care about addressing the problems with the environment, they just want to have a comfortable narrative.

How is this anchor not embarrassed reading this out by realizing he’s basically sitting in the middle of the burning house Sagan noticed some hooligans were torching decades ago. The institution he is intrinsically part of is exactly the one called out.

Some real cognitive dissonance

Because it's not his America that's falling apart. He's part of an established system of control at the behest of capital interest. He is fine. He is wealthy and his family is set. He has been bought.
