This article is by Jonathan Rauch, author of Kindly Inquisitors (perhaps the best book ever written about wokeness, written in the early 90s), and The Constitution of Knowledge, an excellent book except for the parts about Trump, where it's very clear that Rauch has a terrible case of TDS and ascribes a level of sophistication to the former president that is simply not borne out by reality. By all means trust his facts and please read his books, but when it comes to Trump, take his analysis with a grain of salt, I wouldn't consider him to be a credible source on that subject.
Mmhmm.. fantastic author, makes great points about lots of stuff.. except when he's critical of the orange former guy - then ofc he's to be ignored.

Reading is a great hobby and a useful skill, you should really try it one of these days.

Thx, tips!
I've learned a lot by reading, actually. I read an entire book over the last couple weeks and 1/3rd of another - which I'll likely read more of this evening.

You should also try reading the books mentioned in this thread, you might actually learn something from them, including why I made the judgment I did about one of my favorite writers on speech issues, who is absolutely untrustworthy when it comes to all things Trump.

Thanks again! Read above: I read your post and replied to it. Guy's an excellent author until he has something to say about trump that you don't agree with.. then he has the right wing propaganda made up term of tds. Gotcha.
