A thread that's a snapshot of America as it makes itself great again in anticipation of Trump's inauguration:

"Since Trump won re-election — this time with the popular vote — many of the most influential people in America seem to have lost any will to stand up to him as he goes about transforming America into the sort of authoritarian oligarchy he admires. Call it the Great Capitulation."

~ Michelle Goldberg

"We are beginning to see this all over the American political-economic system — giant corporations and hugely wealthy people going out of their way to appease King Trump even in advance of his coronation. They are paying him off to maintain or enlarge their profits."

~ Robert Reich

Funny, isn't it, how the "working class" and its "economic anxiety" suddenly exits the state, no?

Why did ABC cave in to Trump?

It didn’t need to. It shouldn’t have. But there’s a big reason why it thought it must.

"It’s clear as day that corporations, the wealthy, and our institutions are unwilling to exercise even the slightest resistance to Trump this time around. They are anointing him our Pharoah for life in exchange for clemency and higher profits."

~ Wajahat Ali

So much for "working-class" "rage" based in "economic anxiety" as the force driving the Trump machine."

"It’s a world where fringe media outlets are ascendant, a new wave of religious leaders are mixing politics and prayer, the global right-wing is rejoicing, and more established press are being subjected to a new level of restrictions and derision."

"Our country faces an incoming tsunami of bigotry, hatred, and discrimination. It targets Muslims, Arabs, Jews, Black people, the LGBTQ+ community, and many others. And it always pretends to be something other than what it is. These forces are fueled not only by their proponents, but equally by the collaboration and silence of the spineless."
