@40cd5708 Worked with a lady in 2016 who was of some South American descent. She flatly said this, that she was curtailing her social media, already at that time, for those exact reasons.
She'd seen it, understood what was likely coming.
@3967703f sadly they're all rich enough to not care.
Shutting down govt funding should cause direct debits from their personal bank accts to make up the shortfall
@4a888f94 I suspect she's still trying to con herself, that her entire political belief system wasn't an abject lie.
But not impossible it's more malicious than that too.
Definitely saw her swing from scripted to unprompted responses, from projecting to genuine emotion, that detracted from her being truly believable.
@4a888f94 yeah, I have trouble finding how to, in her words, 'welcome' more people to leave that bubble...and the need for consequences of supporting a party and admin that's been pretty damned fascist for her entire adult life.

Definitely we *NEED* to hear Maddow and others call it out.
If they don't, they get tarred by association.
We rail against 'good cops' who don't blast 'bad cops'...this is the same thing. If someone in your profession is actively harming it's reputation with substandard behavior...if you don't call it out, you are accepting it.

No one.
