What happened? 30 years of liberal public education. The takeover of social media by the elite posing as young, cool, and hip people telling people what to think. IT only takes 1 generation to give up freedom and liberty to doom a nation.

Taibbi is about as close as it gets to real journalism anymore (if there is such a thing). I hadn't thought to seek out his covid take. He sips the Kool-Aid but does fight off the urge to drain the whole glass (or pitcher), retaining some sense, or at least semblance, of perspective.

I would only quibble with the use of the word "liberal." Classically, the essence of liberalism is questioning authority - of the church, of the king. Rather call it what they themselves call it - "progressive" - meaning to force so-called progress (as defined by the intellectual elite) on a resistant public by use of government force.
