[we can do it]

1. Fuck the NYTs - YOU enabled this bullshit by normalizing it.

[MayReasonRule]

2. As Did Liz Cheney...

And any other rat that jumped ship...

They set this up to happen and now it has.

Fuck them.

3. Nah. That's too deep.

When I brought up his former generals and Cheney etc, I was met with blank stares. Many had no idea and none cared. All I heard was blame of Dems for the terrible economy. It was drilled into their heads that their every woe was the fault of Biden. And now they will blame Dems for all future woes and write it off as the result of trump having to fix Bidens mess. And it's all infused with racism and fear of immigrants and the hoards of transgenders who are going to dominate women's sports and send boys home from school as girls. It's all fear and loathing. Most are not deep thinkers. Or thinkers at all.

6. "that terrible economy" that was the best in the world

But Faux News viewers didn't know that. Murdock's ignorance platform won bigly for Putin.

14. True

It only takes a few minutes of listening or watching the rw media to see how powerful it is. Breathtaking.

[Think. Again.]

4. Wow, the nyt was ready this morning with that...

....it reminds me of how "explanations" of seemingly impossible things always seem to appear in the media just as people start asking questions.

11. Oh, McCarthy, who's the author, has been revving up for some time

in this NYT output alone.

I think there are better sources we can look for for analysis of what's just happened.

[BootinUp]

5. Propaganda and lies and ugly emotions are why Trump won. nt

[Ferrets are Cool]

7. Fuck the NYT's. They are as responsible for this travesty as any other entity, if not more so.

[BootinUp]

8. You posted an opinion by a conservative right wing operative.

9. is it against the rules?

I wanted opinions about the content of the editorial. If it is against DU rules, I will take it down.

[Emrys]

10. It's published under the NYT masthead, but written by Daniel McCarthy

Take a look at his NYT output: https://www.nytimes.com/by/daniel-mccarthy

I don't know what a jury will make of it, but he's classed as a right-wing author. From the TOS:

Do not post content sourced from right-wing publications, authors, or pundits.
