@CatHerder I'm with you. From the outset, I've asked myself how anyone could listen to the man and vote for him. I can only conclude, as you do, that they and I see the world very differently.

@wdlindsy it's right to sound the alarm, we just need to temper our expectations based on the evidence we've already seen.

@IveyJanette I see. Because I don't know the history of the publication, I wasn't sure. Soon-Shiong is closely connected to Elon Musk. That tells us something very imporant about him, I think.

@davidmiller I don't read any of the commentators in the thread to be denying that we need to temper our expectations based on evidence. I also suspect they'd agree with Timothy Snyder that obeying in advance and allowing those who want to make us feel hopeless are not options, either.

@wdlindsy We're regressing into the days of yellow journalism circa 1900.

[iveyjanette@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy And it's

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@IveyJanette Indeed.
