Bizarro World
There are many oddities that have appeared in the age of Trump. I will mention two of them here.
I have found myself allied with people that I used to bitch at all the time. I had major differences with them on policies. Those differences have not disappeared. When the time comes that policy once again takes center stage, I know we will be back to bitching.
There have been different policies that Trump has altered, but his new ideas are extreme in many ways and they have not enticed these anti-Trumpers to support them. One idea is the use of tariffs. He has zero clue about trade in the modern world and he blunders on. He does not care if he hurts Americans. Somewhere there is a link that will allow him to profit off of it. It could be a change to satisfy Putin but I think that he has to be making $$$ somehow too.
The second oddity to me is the actions of the print media and what stories they emphasize. Most of them have been worthless and a lot of them have added to the damage.
There are a few news sources here and there that have stepped up. They may only have gotten local attention but they are trying. The one source that has surprised me is Teen Vogue. They have printed well-sourced stories about many important issues that others have ignored. They have done this from the beginning and have been a reliable ally for the Resistance.
They still print what usually passes for Teen Vogue stories. However, they have not been shy about expanding their mandate to include just about any idea. I will remember them an their efforts.
Trump has been effectively opposed by sex workers who wont be silenced and their lawyers. To me the official publication of the opposition to Trumpkins is one that was written for teenagers that has taken on important issues and filled a void.
What a world. I think we are crossing back and forth between dimensions. The last time this occurred was during the Sixties. I have had enough of breaking new historical ground thank you very much. I can say that it has not been dull.
