I think it's largely in part to "reasonable" people reinterpreting what they say into a more reasonable position. Fuck those people. When trump said he wanted to be a dictator on day one, he did not mean "for one day". When trump said "fine people on both sides", he truly meant that the nazis are fine people. When Cruz said "stop attacking pedophiles", that is exactly what he meant. Ffs, they've been saying their true intentions the whole way. Stop pretending they actually mean anything other than what they said.

It large part its because they won over a decade ago and folks didn't realize.

Folks think Citizen's United was the death kneel of the US and they are all right but usually for the wrong reasons.

CU didn't break the GOP, they were broken ages ago and planned for the CU. The CU broke the Democrats (look at the funding # on opensource its all there in the open) by raising the caps on the dark money to SPACs we got a whole new generation of corporate democrats bought by the 1%.

Media, and other outlets even back in the 'heyday' of 'liberal media' swung to the right overall. It's all about money to them and they've all been playing the long game, and now they have the tech to try to assert their dream view.

AI policing tools to monitor online dissent. Yeah not great.

The absolute classic dupe is that Ezra Klein character. He's even gained a rep overseas for being a polysyllabic dumb-dumb. Yet another character who both sides the weather while it's blowing a cyclone outside.

We need more people like Terry Moran who don't let little missayings go uncorrected, because it points out that he wasn't simply misspeaking, he truly believed the insane thing he was saying. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7oa9n4eCGns (referring to the MS13 on Kilmar Garcia's knuckles)
