Great column

www.dcreport.org/2021/11/01/w...

Thank you for years of outstanding journalism. Hope to see you writing elsewhere soon 👍🏻

Or, in fewer words: Republicans are ending America.

I don't get this term "strong men". More like weak, ineffective men supported by an army of willfully ignorant death cult admirers...

📌

Collapsing trust being a product of 60 years’ worth of divisive messaging from the right.

"What institutions of power will be left to disagree?" is quite the sign off. Hope to hear more from you soon.

Thank you for gifting the article! 🥂

Sending best wishes. I'll follow you anywhere.

A large % of MAGAs have now turned against him. The Trumpers are likely working frantically to put together a "Cliff's Notes" version of the Epstein Files. Bill Clinton will be the A-list star and Zero mention of Trump. This sanitized "revelation" will get some % of the disillusioned MAGAs back.

I don't have a WaPo account and read the article just fine.

You can get 1-article for free when you create an account at Washington Post… but we cancelled WAPO and won’t be registering for anything free or otherwise as long as the non freedom of the press rules Bezos put in place continue to exit.

Thank you for the attempted gift link. If I wanted to enter my info for Bezos to hoover up, I would - but that isn't your doing.

Thank you for your focus and integrity, and best of luck on your next endeavor

TY for gift link.

Thank you for the gift article—and many more thanks for your entire body of work over the years. Wishing you all the best & hoping to see much more of your writing in the future.

Thanks for your time at the Post. No loss for you,as it's become unrecognizable.

But he created the collapsing trust in institutions.

Thank you for your excellent work at the WAPO over the years. I look forward to whatever comes next!

Gift linking your own column is a fantastic flex.

Let's be fair; those institutions didn't crumble, they were sabotaged from above.

He’s never been strong! He’s just a moron in orange skin! A laughing stock & worse potus ever!

Very evocative to be writing this as your last column at one of the institutions that is throwing away whatever trust it had from the public in order to cozy up to Trump

But hey, republicans like big oil, pharma, insurance, banks, Wall Street, billionaires, gun manufacturers got EVERYTHING they wanted even if it means total destruction and vulnerability.

Oh no!

“Wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.”

Sidenote: My Louisiana high school’s 1970 senior year civics class was “Americanism vs. Communism.” Coach had a lot of crazy stuff to say.

“Conspiracy theories thrived in heavily weeded gardens.”

Most interesting: “The trend over the past few decades has been that the percentage of Americans who say they aren’t strong partisans has declined as the number of independents has risen.” Shows how many people lie to pollsters; embarrassed to admit they are GOPs. And/or the polling sucks.

📌

The thing is, our institutions have only ever been a formality for rich elites to apply the law asymmetrically. Any time one of those formalities might get in the way of capitalist interests, those formalities get ignored entirely. Trump is merely brazen enough to be doing it more openly than dems.

Thanks for being part of the Washington Post we used to trust. All the best.
