Is The Economist right for sanewasing tfg by gaslighting us & pretending that tfg's previous chief of staff didn't just call him a fascist, as seen in other news outlets as a big breaking news story?
@Coctaanatis their last paragraph annoys me too.
but this + Anderson Cooper acting like it never happened during the town hall.. does Kamala has to do news now too?
@peeppeepcircus I don't read it that way. It's not social media bubble level advocacy, but it's extremely anti-Trump.
Consider the second to last sentence of the article:
"In fact it is reasonable to describe Mr Trump’s violent authoritarian politics of xenophobia, nostalgia and contempt for the law as a modern iteration of fascism, and if elected he may do permanent damage to American democracy."
@Coctaanatis
ok. i still do see it differently, that they are minimizing it, especially with the last sentence as well as the headline. and it's not just the economist doing it.
