I see what you’re getting at, but at the same time, I much prefer having a president that focuses on presidential shit instead of worrying about petty details. I have no clue what Biden is thinking today, and assume he’s doing president business - because I didn’t have to read 4 tweets that he wrote while binging Fox News. It’s refreshing.
Hard agree. Political reporting and discourse are in a sorry enough state as it is without charging headfirst in a race to the bottom.
The only people who seriously engage with things like #tangate are the lowest of low information voters who Republicans have trained to view politics as entertainment to distract from how badly they are being conned. A little light meming is fine to show you’re onto the game, but we absolutely do not need that politics-as-entertainment mindset to spread any further.

When you put it that way, a silent decent into fascism sure is more comfortable. As for what the Biden Administration is doing? https://theintercept.com/2023/08/28/border-migrants-arizona-cages/
Cool, glad we don’t have to think about those types of things anymore. Out of Sight out of Mind. Make sure to vote for more of this next November.
