@Adoxographer@mastodon.social Well, that's a bad-faith argument if I've ever heard one.

Not to mention that the article completely misses the mark on the cause of the rise of Trump. Trump won the primary because he managed to get the mainstream media to hate him so much they gave him a billion and a half dollars in free ads so nobody knew who anyone else was, and then won the general because the opposing candidate was Captain Establishment "Pokémon Go to the Polls" herself.

I don't even know how the author jumped from "the media likes establishment hawk figures in the GOP like Ryan and McCain" to "Trump wins".

And I for one support entitlement cuts. It's not the Feds' job to do such things.
