Take notes. Reform. The NYT has no radical voice. I am reading the middle of the road columnists who all deny they are the middle of anything. Nowhere in this thing did I read the word resistance. There is a resistance, but no one at NYT can crack that story. This is a success. Journalism treading water. These people are all talking about institutional response. Resistance exists. You just can't find it. The stories you publish do not require blood. First, you go off the grid. "But no one can disconnect." I assume that upper middle class writers believe this. Reformed institutions are always the upper middle class status quo solution. You cannot afford to admit that your institutions are irrelevant. Ephemeral. To say nothing of political institutions.
Democrats flounder. Break the country down to tribes. MAGA can move to Waco, Texas. Do not let them out. Build a wall. A big beautiful Democratic wall all the way around Waco. Conservatives get Manitoba. Democrats get the Museum of Natural History. There is nothing in your mean-spirited country worth reforming. Your focus on reform and reform and reform is patently absurd and beneath contempt. There are no institutions that work. Only for the government of the rich. By the rich. And for the rich. Democrats only move the furniture around. Four score and seven years ago, America was still a racist culture. No resistance is allowed a voice. Why can't we have a voice that says break the country up. The center will not hold.
