The fact that Trump is now granting citizenship and asylum to white men from South Africa because they are somehow VICTIMS is the worst example of this victimhood problem. Great article!
Excellent article. Cogent, accurate, and addressing something about right wingers that I don’t think gets enough attention. One minor quibble, or observation at least - Josh Olson is typically very intelligent and has great politics. I used to listen to his West Wing Thing podcast quite a bit and I always found him to be insightful and on point about the problems of the Democratic Party and liberalism / centrism. I’m surprised by his take in that post. I’m raising two teenage boys myself and do not agree with him at all. I see no evidence that they are being told that they’re “bad” simply for being young males. (I have a teenage daughter too, and it’s still much harder to raise a girl, for all the reasons you’d expect - i.e. raising her in a profoundly misogynistic society.)
That’s a gross understatement i would say its fucking America and the world up and leading us down a downward spiral of toxic reactionary bullshit and i wish the centre right to far right and all the right in between would kindly fuck off and we gotta tell them that loudly and rudely and politely and not accommodate or repackage it as a left wing which some dingbats on the left want us to do

Tell me about it! Reminds me of the quote, 'To the privileged, equality looks like oppression.'
