What is happening with editorial boards is not normal. You need to understand this first.

They are not part of the newsroom, so anyone telling you that is lying. What happened at the LAT and WaPo are the beginning. Have you not read history? They come for you. You just think it's more steps away.

Meanwhile, with Harris's enthusiastic acceptance of Dick Cheney's endorsement, there's a resurgent fascism within the Democrats that these normies are happily ignoring. That guy did more to expand American fascism than Trump even promises. Therefore, this election isn't really about totalitarianism versus democracy. That's another reason why the anticipatory obedience accusation isn't relevant. It would have also been anticipatory obedience to endorse Harris.
