Dear Conservatives, I Apologize
My "Team" was Taken in By Full-Spectrum Propaganda

The gatekeepers who lie to the public about the most consequential events of our time — and who thus damage our nation, distort our history, and deprive half of our citizenry of their right to speak, champion and choose, without being tarred as would-be violent traitors - deserve our disgust.
I am sorry the nation was damaged by so much untruth issued by those with whom I identified at the time.
I am sorry my former “tribe” is angry at a journalist for engaging in —- journalism.
I am sorry I believed so much nonsense.
Though it is no doubt too little, too late —
Conservatives, Republicans, MAGA:
I am so sorry.
Apology accepted, Naomi.
I'm not even a fan of Trump, a helped campaign against him, and I only voted for him because the alternative was worse... but to many of the Democrats supporters on DP and elsewhere, I'm lumped in with "MAGA" not because I love Trump (though I assume most baselessly assume it), but becauser I had the temerity to push back against the deluge of false narratives dumped on the public by the Democrats. It would have been really cool to have a Dmeocrat party and a pro-Democrat media who held Trump accountable for things he actually did that weren't great, but no, they needed a Russian-Stooge/Neo-Nazis-are-Very-Fine-People scale big lie, a new lie every week for years.
And now people sit in solitary while the state denies them constitutional rights, on yet another big lie.
