This is the predictable consequence of the ratcheting-up going on at least since Russiagate/Crossfire Hurricane. I think Republicans think the Democrats won't limit their actions when they get back into power, and I think the Republicans are right about that.

The press is right back into "Everything Trump does is evil" mode, and Trump is right back to calling them fake news. I hoped that people might be a little more sane since Trump is gone in 2028 either way, but.......

I read an interesting article in NYT recently about preppers. The content was typical, but the style wasn't. They're no longer sneering at preppers as racist MAGAtards. The whole thing is about how prepping and learning to shoot isn't fringe anymore. Almost like they're giving their readership (which, let's be real, is mostly liberal) permissions to prepare for violence and disaster.

I did some more checking, and his previous article was about a rise in gun stores catering to women and the gay community.

Real news? Coincidence? Propaganda update to prepare liberals to embrace violence? You decide.
