I think the biggest reason I appreciate Taibbi other than his investigative journalism, is he is capable of remembering inconvenient things. Turns out American political history did not start in 2016.

I think it's pretty obvious that the little people have been crushed by the state since......well, basically forever. What changed (IMO) was when Trump was elected in 2016 and the Swamp was actually worried about losing power. Crossfire Hurricane is the perfect example of lawfare against the powerful, and that obviously continued all throughout Trump's first term -- to the point where he ordered the Crossfire Hurricane files unredacted and the Swamp simply refused.

That election, along with Brexit around the same time, REALLY spurred the lawfare "#Resistance" warriors into action. Anything that threatened the WEF/Globalist order was deemed a threat and attacked with the full force of governments around the world. (This is why we see so many "hate speech" laws being drafted and implemented around the globe.) Now they've established those baseline rules and are ramping up into banning candidates or parties, or simply ignoring the results of elections they don't like.

I HOPE all of this is on the downswing because it SEEMS like people across the world are rejecting rule-by-elites. But the Swamp isn't going to give up without exhausting every legal (and not so legal) avenue at their disposal.
