    Trump can't trick Americans into loving him (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Donald Trump has never been one for subtlety, so it follows that his taxpayer-funded “public service announcement” instructing Americans to love him would literally feature a gospel choir singing the words “Love Me.” Along with many of his closest allies, the president is a fan of pseudo-science, so perhaps he believes the repetition will have a hypnotic effect on viewers, reversing through pop psychology trickery the free-fall that has beset his approval ratings. This is just one of three separ

    Wife school can't fix MAGA husbands - Salon.com (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    How hard is it to enjoy your husband’s company? According to content made for Christian conservative women, the heaviest cross they may bear is learning to feel affection for their spouses — or at least fake it well enough to buy some peace at home. That’s what I learned perusing the growing field of influencers offering would-be tradwives advice on how to make MAGA marriages work. “Normalize liking your husband,” reads a T-shirt sold by Savanna Stone, a 21-year-old self-proclaimed marriage expe

    Clavicular's charges shows the real danger of MAGA manhood (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It wasn’t long after Braden Peters, better known as “Clavicular,” was arrested on suspicion of raping a 17-year-old girl at his family’s home in Massachusetts that his fellow MAGA influencers started complaining that he was the real victim. “Now we live in a climate where a 19-year-old can’t even sleep with a 16-year-old with a little alcohol involved.

    Kash Patel's attack dog act does more than please Trump (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Kash Patel wants to be the White House’s preeminent attack dog. But as usual, he can’t help but break through the fence and run into traffic. This time, his mistake was a very strange quasi-defense of people convicted of bestiality. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., led the FBI director straight into a trap during Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing when he asked Patel why his agency had dropped the hiring ban on people who admitted to engaging in sex with animals. “We did not want to punish vi

    Donald Trump’s emotional support convention (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Along with death and taxes, invitations to celebrations you’d rather avoid are included on the list of adult life’s sad inevitabilities. Everyone has sucked it up to go to the wedding of a couple they disapprove of, or a family dinner that will inevitably turn into an argument.

But when Donald Trump demands ritual worship from Republican politicians, he can’t help but try to squeeze them for ever
