There are multiple fingerprints on the knife plunged into the heart of American democracy. Some of them belong to the news media. This is one of the greatest failures of the media in my lifetime, and I'm old.
Project 2025 was always going to be the GOP blueprint, because Trump is both the captain and a passenger on this fucking shit-filled cruise liner. Because he's such a stupid, evil bastard, he's empowered other stupid, evil bastards, and stupid, evil bastards wrote Project 2025. That this inveterate liar's claim that he did not know anything about it was swallowed by the press corpse as if it were actually true.
In his conversation with Jonathan Cohn over the coming health care crisis, Krugman and Cohn agree that what seems to have happened is that the worst, most ideological Republican acolytes were allowed to make health care policy without anyone who knows anything about health care policy being able to weigh in. Schumer's statement that Trump had no idea about the coming evisceration of subsidies is probably true. The little bubble that Trump lives in admits no defeat or bad news.
This was always readily apparent to those with eyes to see, but our fucking legacy media was blind to it.
