Holy shit, the Atlantic are finally acknowledging there’s a problem, rather than just sanity-washing fascists and claiming that nazis have no traction.
It became a problem partially because of the media being controlled by fascists. The atlantic is one of the worst.
Holy shit, the Atlantic are finally acknowledging there’s a problem
The Atlantic only sees a problem when a guy they don’t like is in charge. Their editorial staff will forget all about the GOP’s Nazi Problem the minute Jeb Bush is running the RNC again.
The media was a huge part of it, especially the Atlantic. They went off my list pretty early on for headlines and stories that covered for this administration. One article doesn’t absolve them, they’re POS.
Worth remembering that the Republican Party isn’t the root cause. Our oligarchs corrupting our democracy is what’s broken it. And a huge part of that is our media - not only propaganda outlets like Fox, but the control by the oligarchs of almost all media is the reason Republicans always get a pass and Democrats get minimized.

Hot take: it’s always been a problem, but people had enough fear of social reprisal to keep that stuff to themselves.
