It’s just as bad as you thought The Guardian reports on the latest “intellectual” vomit spewing forth from the centers of right wing academia: June, rightwing academic Kevin Slack published a book-length polemic claiming that ideas that had emerged from what he called the radical left were now so dominant that the US republic its founders envisioned was effectively at an end. Slack, a politics professor at the conservative Hillsdale College in Michigan, made conspiratorial and extreme arguments now common on the antidemocratic right, that “transgenderism, anti-white racism, censorship, cronyism … are now the policies of an entire cosmopolitan class that includes much of the entrenched bureaucracy, the military, the media, and government-sponsored corporations”. In a discussion of possible responses to this conspiracy theory, he wrote that the “New Right now often discusses a Red Caesar, by which it means a leader whose post-Constitutional rule will restore the strength of his people”.

Do Americans really want this unhinged crook to become president? pic.twitter.com/4ZJqoOIudB — Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) October 2, 2023 This should go well. https://t.co/5vbtIHbiCe — Charlie Sykes (@SykesCharlie) October 2, 2023 According to CNN, Trump has decided that it will be good for him to appear at this trial and sit sullenly at the table with the expression he had on his face for the mug shot because he thinks it makes him look tough.

Given both his personal history and the recent pattern in white-collar accountability, Trump might understandably be surprised he finds himself in so much trouble. https://t.co/JB3vLz2NVK — Philip Bump (@pbump) October 2, 2023 All of that is incredibly sick, but that’s how the cult works.
