What we're seeing is how professional cynicism gets deployed. There are Influencers who make a career saying that everything is corrupt all the time. Then when @CGasparino reports that the WH give Wall Street execs early alerts, everyone just thinks that's biz as usual.

Do you think anyone has ever gone to the rodeo for the first time and not said, “this is my first rodeo”?

"I became a Trump supporter because I couldn't buy access to the democrats" is definitely something I would expect someone to think in their head rather than say out loud.
.@chamath: “I was a megadonor to the Democrats … I couldn't get a phone call returned from the White House to save my life … The Trump administration is totally different. There's not a single person there you can't get on the phone and talk to.”

This is exactly how it felt in 2008-9, when we waited for the futures on Sunday night to see how bad things would get. But then, the crisis was the result of a real problem: the housing bubble bursting. This time around, the crisis is literally the result of the whims of one man.

MAGA influencers spent 4 years posting grocery receipts complaining about the price of raw milk and it took them less than 3 months of Trump’s presidency to be like “shut the fuck up about how things cost more! So you can’t buy a car? So what? Maybe you should walk more, porky!”

We went from "Expensive eggs are a national crisis!" to "Losing money costs you nothing" really fast.
Losing money means nothing. Digital ones and zeroes. In the end, you won't miss any of it. Losing your country costs you everything. You will never get that back. Your kids will be slaves to foreign powers who hate us. Without America First policies, we become slaves. Fight...
