The key to so many of these dudes' reactionary politics is that they can never stop believing that the sorting mechanisms of meritocracy put them on top because they deserved it
Matt Yglesias endorses the theory that men are naturally more inclined toward extreme intelligence over on the other site.

The other thing is, Biden is still riding around on bicycles. So this sounds to me like somebody said something to somebody while drunk, and now Jake Tapper is running with it as breaking news.

Tapper is so thirsty, and he's got CNN promoting his book for him. Nice gig if you can get it.
I was curious how Tapper was going to hold on to his TV perch - this seems part of it. Screaming about Sheri Redstone but nothing about Zaslav.
tapper trying so hard - looks increasingly ridiculous when trump is on TV drooling every day. Bet in a couple of years Trump will finally OD & Biden will still be giving Nato speeches -
its genuinely insane to see the press on a "democrats must self flagellate over biden being old" when this shit is happening
Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."
& the real panic wasn't really about Biden's age - it was the possibility of Harris becoming president.
I'll never get over the coverage Clinton, Biden, and Harris were subjected to when this man does crimes, falls asleep on tv, and speaks in word salads.

I am sorry
Are you aware Biden was not on the ballot?
Also, are you aware it's still Wednesday?
and seeing how Newsom and Whitmer are turning out - jfc Biden was probably the best candidate. Dems couldnt hold it together after one lousy debate meanwhile Trump's falling asleep an camera & "crickets".

I would have walked over hot coals to vote for Biden again. Really don't give a shit about Jake Tappers ginned up press tour. He looks ridiculous complaining about Biden while Trump is taking a free plane.
Well this is chilling as all hell.
As I've said a million times, we are sliding into autocracy in the most telegraphed, cliched, scripted way possible. Just dully walking through steps that have been trod dozens of times before, stupid enough to think we're different.

It's Interesting How the Past Can Make You Think About the Present
They say that history rhymes.
real problem having Schumer & Jeffries in leadership - desperately need leaders up to this challenge with an ounce of creative imagination - and they are just... not it
