“While it’s true that Trump supporters aren’t being lynched or sent off to concentration camps,… “. Just one correction to your statement, my dear…they actually ARE locking up Trump supporters. Look at the J6ers…some still in jail in the worst conditions, some still not charged and the ones that are charged, are charged with misdemeanors. Imagine, serving 3 years in prison for a misdemeanor. This is a tyrannical government and it’s going to get worse, mark my words!
Sasha - you will never know how I needed your words today after the past two weeks when i felt I was encircled by the wagons of the cult you once said you had been in for years. I live in an expat community in Mexico with people who have lived all over the United States and will never see 60 again.
I moved here two years ago from Portland never expecting to find the hatred i had found in Portland for all things Trump. Instead I found it to be worse. One person warned me to follow her lead and never go back to the States even for a brief visit for fear of what might happen to me....not by some roving gang after my money but by Trump supporters. who were after my soul.
Another would not accept my insistance that disallowing Trump to be on the ballot was the opposite of the democracy he is sure Trump will abolish. No, he told me, the Constituion allows that due to the insurrection. I could hardly function for days, when I went to bed with Hillary already measuring for curtains, only to find Trump had won."
Yesterday i met a woman who told me it was clear that she and I were clearly better people than Maga people due to our degrees assuming as does everyone I meet here that I share her Rachel Maddow inspired hatred. When I suggested that I did not share her opinions at all, she told me not to worry, she liked me anyway no matter how i voted - followed by BUT I was wrong. -
I did have one John LeCarre moment a few weeks ago when I started a conversation with the only other person in the restaurant. We were very cautious about going any further than Hello when suddenly it seemed as if some sort of code passed between us and we breathed a sigh of relief when we realized there were two of us here who had escaped the cult.
Wonderful essay. Sadly, the problem is unfixable at least as long as we continue to struggle to dominate a dying United States. A house divided cannot stand and divided we are, even more than in 1861. Then, it was more or less a single people divided over 1 1/2 issue (with the 1/2 being economics). Now the very nature of reality is disputed.
I've never understood all the hate emanating from MSNBC directed at Trump and "MAGA". However, when there was wholesale movement of their anchors towards demonizing Ronna. It was a clarifying moment. To attack such a mild-mannered spoke person for the RNC showed that NO allowance would be tolerated of an opposing view. Of course, they tried to state otherwise with their dissent. Their actions, rather than words, spoke volumes. Another fact is the huge contract Maddow signed after all her "Russia, Russia, Russia" stories and outright lies. Never once has she admitted any errors in her coverage and comments. I don't expect she ever will. Which is just another glaring reason why very few eyeballs watch either NBC or MSNBC on a regular basis. Also; does anyone else chuckle at the spouse of Morning Joe always nodding whenever he goes on one of his rants? She looks like a bleach blonde puppet.
I haven’t done as far as you Sasha but for MSNBC to have the unrepentant criminal ‘Rev’ Al Sharpton on for years and make a fuss and McDaniel is a sign of rank hypocrisy.
Maddow is the snide, sneering, sarcastic female version of Jon Stewart. Though not as smart, she's every bit as hateful and petty. The Left has one demographic that keeps them in business...the Trump haters, and they know their business model depends on feeding that hate or it will collapse. And so they do.
I’m not a big fan of Donald Trump, but… This election will do nothing less than define the USA for the next several decades. Are we going to be a nanny state with the Government controlling everything we think and say (four more years of the same will do that),hiding in our VR paradises, ingesting ever more placating drugs, or will we get back (a bit) to our roots of honest work and fair play. Will our President stand on the side of we the people, or on the side of the uniparty? Will we stop the incessant interference in other country’s politics, will we corral the CIA and FBI? A flawed man, yes, but only Trump can do it.
I looked at some of the media commentary about Ronna McDaniel and the hypocrisy and delusion on display is genuinely mind boggling. Apparently hiring Jenn Psaki is totally non controversial but hiring RM - oh major questions! We might not know if she was expressing her own opinions or - I think this was the argument- shilling for the RNC. Well I think she was hired to express Republican friendly opinions. So it’s transparent that NBC has decided that only opinions that are Democratic friendly can be expressed on that network. That should provoke the appropriate response.
This should be printed and hung on the White House fence, like in the time of the "Democracy Wall" in China. Be safe, Sasha. You mean too much to us right now.
Their greatest fear is the humanity of their followers coming to the surface. This is a race between kindness and hatred. Hatred needs a constant supply of fuel. We know where the fuel comes from, like a DNC Nordstream.
Great piece and interesting journey. The ejection of Ronna from the body-liberal shows an immune system that has built up mighty levels of TDS antibodies from years of a constant flood of lies and antigens.
Sasha, I'm so glad that you found your way out of that hateful environment. Welcome to the light. I know you've been here a while, but every time I read about your conversion, I want to congratulate you on finding your way out. It is no small feat, and shouldn't be minimized.

Lest we forget, Rachel Maddow was the genius who said that vaxed people would neither contract nor spread covid, absolutely, no question. Oops....

Matt Tiabbi had the best quip about the Ronna McDaniel/NBC fiasco:
"You are rolling out “ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY” chyrons in reference to your own hiring decision. Do you know how funny this is?"

Trump is the real resistance.
Someone should tell Rachel Maddow, that the problem with saying stupid things is that people will start to think you are stupid.
