We all know it isn't just navel fluff, so I'm not addressing that. However, I think the elements within the media that are saying the ridiculous things the article discussed would be doing it without much pushing. And some of the politicians, obv for the same reasons.
I can't quite bring myself to respond to the article, because I feel as you do. It has a sound core point (which was also true before this administration), but there is a lot of crap to wade through. Hanging out on a conservative political website is wiping me out.
