Eschaton: I'VE BEEN TRIGGERED Ruth Shalit is an old boring story, but it's sort of a foundational story for me as an adult paying attention to the political-media complex. The elite racism of the 90s to the Iraq war in the aughts and back again to the elite racism (it was all elite racism) ,,, A surprise return character from episode one. Hope this fucking show is over soon.
Eschaton: What's It All About Then ... the stuff Shalit was peddling in the 90s (and she was just part of a particular zeitgeist, not its leader), is just the same as the "WOKE CANCEL CULTURE" stuff being peddled now. Racism justified with bullshit and wrapped with a ribbon of supposed respectability.
Eschaton: Fabulists I don't care about the sports story, but just read the correction. Shalit didn't just have problems at TNR, she also had problems subsesquently at Elle and at Salon. How do these people keep getting hired?
The Atlantic gave Ruth Shalit a 'second chance' 25 years after a journalism scandal. It ended with an ugly correction - In pointing out errors and fabrications in a wildly popular story about niche sports, the magazine said it was wrong to assign work to the writer at the center of a 1990s media scandal

Even in Defeat, Trumpism Isn't t Going Anywhere -- Republicans pining for days gone by have some tough truths to face ... Consider that in 1992, George H.W. Bush faced two populist, nativist, and explicitly racist primary challengers in Pat Buchanan, who defined his political program as a culture war and the white supremacist David Duke. In each of the first 14 contests, Buchanan and Duke combined to receive at least 25 percent of the vote, with Buchanan getting a high of 37.5 percent in New Hampshire. It was the Buchananite wing of the party that grew in the ensuing quarter-century to become large enough to propel Trump to the nomination in 2016 ... number one issue for 80-plus percent of GOP primary voters was loyalty to Trump ... Sixty-five percent of Republicans do not believe the election will be conducted fairly (to Trump)

Eschaton: The Good Republicans - I don't care if they exhume some former governor from 2003 to come out and endorse Biden. Maybe that helps the Biden campaign, maybe not, but it certainly should do nothing to perpetuate the myth of GOOD REPUBLICANS. From Majority Leader on down to the head of the ice cream social committee, basically every Republican at every level of government in every municipality in this country is on board with the widespread death and destruction that Trump is inflicting
Eschaton: Whine Havoc - One aspect of the general perception and portrayal of Republicans as the Stern Daddy party and Democrats as the Caring (but drunk and silly) Mommy party is that it is understood that whenever Daddy (the GOP, try to keep up) swings open his office door and threatens to come down and yell at whoever he needs to, he will get results ... But most of the country aren't actually Maureen Dowd with terminal Daddy issues, and going the full asshole and teargassing people to pose like an idiot with Bible, or cheering on the cops for murdering black people, isn't necessarily the popular thing. Still when they threaten to bring out the riot gear and turn the racism dial up to 11, it is assumed to be so until some polls say otherwise.

"If he, Ken Burns, and his co-writers had been trained, they would have learned that the people they were relying on for much of this history were in fact white supremacist, pro-Confederate, pro-Lost Cause men. White men." ... Burns had no way of knowing what would happen the past few decades, but another refrain in the series that the conflict united us in a way that we could never conceive of splitting again rings hollow in these bitterly partisan times. (and then the South rose again, in evil and stupdity)

I don't want to hear about "duty" and "service," either. They took an oath to defend the Constitution, not to hold their tongues until they could get a book deal as a reckless vandal takes the Republic down, brick by brick. Of all the people whom history will account as being complicit in the attempted demolition of constitutional government, I rank them ahead even of the invertebrate Republicans in the United States Senate ... But I am sorry, and angry, that it has come to this, in 2020, when the vandals are still on a rampage that seems as though it can only end in annihilation.

Eschaton: The Narrative - Republicans love The Troops and Democrats hate them and America. Republicans are FISCAL HAWKTIDUDES who care about lowering the deficit, above all, and Democrats want to tax your children to give money to black people. Republicans are good for the economy, while Democrats destroy it. Republicans love FAMILY VALUES and Democrats just want to force you to have gay abortions. Republicans love LAW AND ORDER and Democrats want Kitty Dukakis's murderer to be freed to kill again. -- No amount of facts, polling, etc... can stop political coverage from internalizing these assumptions. Also, that fucking newspaper -- In a report leading with Trump's non-credible denial, the Times asserts that Trump has made "veterans care [a] pillar[] of his campaign" without even a passing note that the main appeal on this score (that he "signed veterans choice) is an outright lie (Maggie, et al, went with the lie, of course, but let Atrios' and Beutlers points sink in)
A perfect opportunity to test some of the ideas I wrote about here. It shouldn't be a total non-story that literally everything Trump says in trying to appeal to voters is an egregious lie.

Haberman, however, hasn't accused Trump of having Parkinson's ... the word "Parkinson's" does not appear in the article, but in Trump's mind, that has somehow translated to Haberman tagging him with the degenerative disorder.

"Here and now, I give you my word: If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I will be an ally of the light, not of the darkness." ... It was the most apocalyptic of political conventions. Much of it came right out of a cave on Patmos or out of a library carved into the rough and calcined hills of the wilderness around the Dead Sea. And, in that, it was more than adequate to the moment through which we now are living, a moment in which existential economic, environmental, and epidemiological threats are confronting us at a time in which an existential threat to American democracyand his enablersare in charge of our response to it in Washington

The Global Decline of Religion - But since 2007, things have changed with surprising speed. From about 2007 to 2019, the over 43 out of 49 became less religious. The decline in belief was not confined to high-income countries and appeared across most of the world. Growing numbers of people no longer find religion a necessary source of support and meaning in their lives. Even the United Stateslong cited as proof that an economically advanced society can be strongly religioushas now joined other wealthy countries in moving away from religion. Several forces are driving this trend, but the most powerful one is the waning hold of a set of beliefs closely linked to the imperative of maintaining high birthrates. Modern societies have become less religious in part because they no longer need to uphold the kinds of gender and sexual norms that the major world religions have instilled for centuries ... As unexpected as it may seem, countries that are less religious actually tend to be less corrupt and have lower murder rates than more religious ones ... From 1981 to 2007, the United States ranked as one of the world's more religious countries, with religiosity levels changing very little. Since then, the United States has shown the largest move away from religion of any country for which we have data ... the United States now ranks as the 11th least religious country for which we have data. (God's ratings down 40% in US)

But Levin, who is known for his preoccupation with conspiracy theories, produced no credible evidence to support his allegations ... In spite of his knowledge of McCords account of this matter, Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not investigate it further (good Republican Bobby and a geyser of lies and obstruction)

Why the Second Wave of the 1918 Spanish Flu Was So Deadly - History - The virus infected 500 million people worldwide and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims -- that's more than all of the soldiers and civilians killed during World War I combined. While the global pandemic lasted for two years, a significant number of deaths were packed into three especially cruel months in the fall of 1918 ... From September through November of 1918, the death rate from the Spanish flu skyrocketed. In the United States alone, 195,000 Americans died from the Spanish flu in just the month of October ... Amerian Red Cross's refusal to use trained African American nurses until the worst of the pandemic had already passed ... President Woodrow Wilson contracted the Spanish flu during the World War I peace negotiations in Paris in April 1919 ... The mortality rate of the third wave was just as high as the second wave, but the end of the war in November 1918 removed the conditions that allowed the disease to spread so far and so quickly. Global deaths from the third wave, while still in the millions, paled in comparison to the apocalyptic losses during the second wave (the military was a super-spreader)

Missouri votes to expand Medicaid over objections of state' Republican leaders (who wanted them all to die)
Missouri voters approve Medicaid expansion, making it 38th state to do so - The change comes as the number of coronavirus case in the state has been on the rise.
Eschaton: Medicaid Expansion - tell this story a lot, but I think it's a useful one because it's one reason why red/swing state Democrats can be shy about supporting popular lefty measures, and by definition it isn't because they're unpopular. They're popular in those red states! - The way the press covers this stuff is that Dems can't support crazy lefty economic policies in swing states because those old white guys in diners can't handle the communism. But that isn't actually how it works ...
Medicaid wins again - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Another red state shows that Republican ideas about healthcare remain unpopular pretty much everywhere: A winning streak: Missouri becomes the sixth red state where voters have defied Republican leaders to expand Medicaid, just weeks after Oklahoma voters narrowly backed the program. No state has ever voted down such a ballot initiative in recent years, underscoring the popularity of Medicaid expansion even in parts of the country hostile to Obamacare -- The idea that it's unpossible for suburban professionals to support a progressive economic agenda has always been based on primarily aesthetic assumptions, not data. But however much you'd rather be in a political coalition with a burly welder from West Virginia rather than your real estate broker mother in suburban Michigan, the fact is that the latter is much more likely to be in favor of an expansive welfare state in 2020 than the former.

All the while, thousands of Americans were dying in a deadly pandemic. (sounds kinda familiar, even without the "hoax" president)
