Well, better SA, which is fairly innocuous as far as modern internet goes, than something like Reddit, I guess.

Huh. Dr Oz has been weird and awkward and all, but that’s never been something to get Republicans to turn on their own, especially in comparison to the ongoing Herschel Walker saga. I haven’t heard of Oz breaking with right wing orthodoxy recently. Is there some kind of showbiz-related beef from Ben’s forays into that world?

My spicy take is plausible photo manips and deep fakes are lame and annoying even when it's being done by 'our' side, reality is already decaying and malleable enough without throwing fuel on the fire

Joe Rogan is the closest in terms of something that people pay attention to. Yes, Crowder and those various idiots are around, but they are not making waves in the media at all. Rogan is not explicitly political but he definitely leans to the right and is more sympathetic to right-wing figures.

Am I missing something, or when Matt rambles about the political system collapsing into national divorce and a caretaker technocratic federal government backed by the military is that just because it would be too lib brained to say Republicans are going to seize power and actually use it instead of devolving it to the states?

The only “alt-right comedy” is apolitical, there isn’t really an Alt-Right comedy scene, there’s just an offensive comedy scene that gets alt-right adjacent until the comedians have to be like “ok uh nobody hang out with Gavin McInnis anymore, he went too crazy”

I think they tend to downplay this possibility because it does smack of Lib Hysteria...but it also seems like a live possibility to me.

It's hard to say exactly how mask-off the GOP could be in terms of seizing power, but as long as it has a fig leaf of constitutionality to it, it's hard to imagine the democrats/the masses doing anything other than massive protests which would just be ignored or suppressed. Similarly, unless "seizing power" involves literally occupying the capitol with Proud Boys it's hard to imagine the dullards at the Pentagon doing much.

Could the American polity really assimilate a reality like that? Maybe. I mean, I'm imaging something like state legislators just picking electors, which is literally how it used to work, didn't it? It would also mean there'd never be another Democratic president, but I can see op-eds in the NYTimes decrying yet rationalizing it.

I think a lot of it comes from what happened as the Roman Empire collapsed. Provincial governors became the total head of state and they often got involved in petty conflicts - without the emperor to rein them in or replace them they were able to consolidate power and ignore large sections of the population. With that in mind, the idea that the grand republic of california will be nominally responsible to pay tithes to the federal military isn’t so far fetched.
