One of the most clear-headed analyses of the current political environment and the ongoing campaign for 2024, from the Philadelphia Inquirer:

"What we are building toward on Nov. 5, 2024, might have the outward trappings of an election, but it is really a show of force. What we call the Republican Party is barely a political party in any sense of the word, but a dangerous antisocial movement that has embraced many of the tenets of fascism, from calls for violence to its dehumanizing of “others” — from desperate refugees at the border to transgender youth."

> Baker was recommending a story condemning “tribalism,” when what we are really seeing here is the vitriol of an authoritarian movement and the increasing condemnation from those who are appalled by it

Yeah, nah. We're seeing two brands of authoritianism duking it out for control of an Empire in its post-Death Star decline, and two tribes of partisans, each only recognising the danger of one of them. True, only one of them has full control of a political party. So far...
