Yes, she has a liberal/Democratic slant, but I've never seen it interfere with her ability to tell the truth.

Cox is in love with her model that she misses the emerging one...the "authoritarians" are kissing the rings of the oligarchs, the reduction to a feudal class regardless of type of work or education. the long march from the time of Reagan to create a docile work force.
She is yet to detach from partisan nuts and bolts and articulate a comprehensive world view.

IOW, unlike you, she isn't a conspiracy theorist, but a well-respected, well-written and well-read historian.

Well written and well read but still very partisan. She is always looking at the two year cycle.

Anything on the effects of the emerging centers of power?

Anything on the characteristics and effects of the new monopolies?
For instance such is irrespective of party in power.

Isn't just about everyone partisan today, especially since Trump's ascendancy to the WH on MAGA promise of us vs them culture wars?

Consider the words "Fake News", "Lawfare", Woke to name a few of favorite terms used by the wingnuts? Heck, even the universal word "truth" has been hijacked for nefarious purposes.

As to the "Oligarchy", it got its inauspicious start with the Citizens United ruling by a righteous Wingnut SCOTUS and this is not about to change anytime soon. I always get a kick out of reading Pio's signature line, "I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one".

Something so poignant it will fly right over the heads of the average Magger.

A message to the MAGA

I will be going to a close friend's home today for a New Years get together. He is a soaked & dyed Trumper who listens to Faux 24/7 and most of his friends will be like minded folks. I am tempted to play this video while I am there, just the sound with the phone in my pocket.

Most of my liberals friends will skip this get together, so I may be in the minority. Except for the Trumpism, they are all good folks.

Well, someone is making a statement of the upcoming Musk/Trump dictatorship - Cybertruck exploded in front of Trump Hotel in LV.

I think our right winger has been reduced to 'sure Trump is a blustery blundering lying fool, but it doesn't matter because Democrats.'

This is looking very suspicious to me, Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer are going after Musk in no uncertain words.

“We don’t need white guys from South Africa lecturing us on how the way things should be,” Bannon ranted on Tuesday.

And throwing down the gauntlet:

“Don’t come up and go to the pulpit and… start lecturing people about the way things are going to be… If you’re going to do that, we’re going to rip your face off.”

What if DJT has asked this dynamic duo to help him by knocking Musk down a notch or two because obviously Musk is the Alpha dog and Trump is his tail.

Of course, it could all games for the suckers who need eternal conflict to feel satisfied with their miserable lot in life. The reich-wingnuttery infotaintment media complex has these frigging loons so wound up, they're liable to commit mass murder at any time. I'm hoping the "man" is paying attention and tracking these would be terrorists.

They found one kook in Virginia with a ton of pipe-bombs just the other day.

The FBI needs a much more robust level of funding/staffing to counter and track this homegrown Talibubba movement.
