Outside on the sidewalk, two tuxedoed men smoking Marlboros are trying to remember what exactly the president said that morning. Are we entering a New Dawn? A New Era? Wait, was it Golden Era? Golden Dawn? They erupt into laughter. “It’s a little bit Hitlerian,” one concludes.

I've seen journos just make up shit outright before, but usually they are are more creative than this. Literally no one uses the word "Hitlerian" other than pathetic journos themselves in articles like this. Nor will a guy who smokes fucking Marlboros give a shit about the exact name used, he will celebrate or shit on all of them.

What's particularly sad about this article, is it spends half the time quoting and describing people's real feelings about why they came to support Trump or abandon the Left. It doesn't even fully shit on this people directly when it does so, it just lets them sit, even if you know the intent is to find this horrific or scary. But this person had a real insight into the reasons why Trump dominated, and they are doing everything possible to ignore it.

Even worse, they keep peppering in these obvious fake details and bits. The kind of person or sentence that no Right-wing person would actually say, but a Leftist's idea of a Right winger says all the time. Like "wooping like a football game watching Fox News" or "low T soy beta cuck loser" which is a caricature of what they think their dad or the "alt right" does. Its got one foot in reality, and three other limbs in their imagination.

I’d later discover she’s married to an alt-right activist with ties to white nationalists.

I promise that this so called activist is neither alt-right in any sense, nor could he be "alt-right" and not end up tied to "white nationalists" in any form to this person. Frankly, I'm surprised that didn't go without saying, but they probably realized calling them "alt-right" isn't gonna work anymore.

Lies are like a bell curve measured against just how detailed the lie is.

Too few? Easy enough to notice because someone is completely unable to give enough detail about what happened.

Too many? Only really becomes noticed after seeing it enough times. Who cares the 2 guys were smoking "Malboros" specifically? You could remove the word entirely and it would make no difference it's that superfluous. If someone really cares about what was being smoked then "cigarette/cigs/cigar/joints" would be sufficient. If they were vaping then "smoking" wouldn't be the required verb.

In other words someone is trying far too hard to push this and make is seem believable by peppering* the story with details but at the cost of bloating.

*I actually wrote this after only reading your first paragraph so didn't realise you used the term "peppering" until I'd already included it, which I find amusing how similar our criticisms of this "story" is.

I was going to point out when I was writing that how unlikely you were to even know what kind of cigarette they were smoking unless this writer literally stalked and watched them for a creepy long amount of time to notice it was a Marlboro they were pulling from, but it felt superfluous to do so.

However, smoking Marlboros has a purpose in the lie, in that its meant to evoke a specific type of person in your mind because we all know who smokes Marlboros.

Problem being, that person is completely at odds with every other detail about these two guys. No one at a fancy Trump party in a nice suit using terms like "Hitlerian" is a guy who smokes Marlboros.

So, like the rest of the story, this author is trying to pepper (now I can't stop using it) every single stereotype they can of the Right to make you hate the people at this party without coming out directly and saying it.

UPDATE This part was organized by a negro, CJ Pearson, and NYM cut all the black people out of the picture https://x.com/thecjpearson/status/1883992066784416231

This is insane.

I hosted this event and @NYMag intentionally left me out of their story because it would have undermined their narrative that MAGA is some racist cult. They also didn’t include the fact that @WakaFlocka and @Gervontaa were also there.

You don’t hate the liberal media enough.

New York Magazine literally cropped all the black people out of this cover photo and then complained that “the entire room is white”

it's so fucking juvenile, and this is from someone who casually throws f-bombs on a public forum.

I just googled the they/them who wrote this article. What a fucking mess.

On a related note, I just came back from the grocery store. Two troons working checkout, and one guy in line with his head fully enclosed in some kind of beekeeper / hazmat helmet thing with a tube coming out of it and feeding into his backpack, where he presumably had some kind of air tank to prevent him from being exposed to scary viruses. Please kill me.

Ah, yes, the "cruel" Conservatives. Once again, the Left continues to push the narrative that they have a monopoly on "compassion" because they're willing to steal from Peter and Paul so Pedro can pick tomatoes for $5/ day.

Remember when their fuhrer threatened us with a 'winter of death'? That was cruel. Remember when their STASI goons summarily executed someone who said 'all lives matter'? That was cruel. Remember when they laughed while they destroyed the economy and sent prices into overdrive? That was cruel.

A bit of cruelty in return seems fair, now.
