That’s what I took away, too. You expressed the summary and conclusions very well.
I think Taibbi has described our possible (probable?) national descent into Hell in a new, more plausible, and far more frightening way.
Yes, my former hatred for Matt Taibbi has changed.
His previous writings were those of foaming-mouthed wiseguy trying to sound like Hunter Thompson— and failing miserably.
He’s allowed to dislike Trump— I can respect a difference of opinion in that regard.
I never knew he was so well informed or capable of critical thinking WRT “the big picture”.
This analysis was spot on.
Too bad most voters will never see it.
