Wonderful, yet scary article. I cancelled my NYT subscription about 5 months ago, due to the things you have mentioned. I feel like we are in Deja vu 1930's Germany. And I am often left speechless at what total MAGA BS former friends are FB posting...

I think maybe, a lot of people think that somehow, maybe because of the "magic ink" the constitution is written in, or maybe because we are the USA, that it cannot happen here.

It is heartbreaking, at least to me.

Qualitative complaints about the mainstream media are easy to refute (e.g., with examples of some good journalism that still exists in pockets.) The quantitative analysis of how many stories address the actual risks of MAGA wins in front page stories, column inches (or their digital equivalents) is much more compelling. In the short run, the lesson for me (as a phonebanker) is that I need to make clear that these threats to the voter's freedom are not "just talk."
