what money buys is a legion of bloggers & pundits & tv guests who’ve made a lucrative industry out of cooking up ways to support crazy shit by pretending to be against some imaginary even crazier shit somebody else wants to do. money buys giving the normals an excuse to be nuts

Josh Marshall is willing to be kinder — I think he makes an excellent argument here:
A lot of the energy behind the "cynical Dems behind MAGA crazies" storyline is driven by pundits who feel very, very off balance needing to say constantly that the GOP is now a sectarian revanchist party thats a threat to democracy over&over because it remains true. Again & gain.
