The Times ran a story that they are uniquely able to cover: the Tates. Andrew and Tristan Tate are (accused) rapists and human traffickers and pretty much proud misogynists. The story lays out how various figures in the Trump orbit - including Barron Trump - have defended and helped these two awful human beings escape justice.
I remember in my 20s not really understanding the world and why it wasn't my oyster. I remember being lonely and depressed because I was lonely (by lonely, I mean romantically; I had good friends). I'm glad that the sort of online shit wasn't around, though I doubt I would have fallen into it. The Tates and those like them are about taking that wounded grievance that young men very often feel and turning into a poisonous broth of violence, dehumanization and sexual depravity.
The fact that the Trumpist Legions supported them is entirely unsurprising. The raft of pardons for terrible people are indicative of the low morality of those cretins. Still, it would be nice to return to a world where being an immoral shitbird was disqualifying from holding an office of public trust.
