And is it any wonder that reactionaries are gaining strength? Within the space of 50 years OR SO SINCE REAGAN SLASHED TAXES ON THE RICH, America has gone from segregation to dizzying multiculturalism; from traditional family structures to widespread divorce, cohabitation, and sexual liberty; from a few respected sources of information to an endless stream of peer-to-peer media; from careers in one company for life to an ever-accelerating need to retrain and regroup; from a patriarchy to (incomplete) gender equality; from homosexuality as a sin to homophobia as a taboo; from Christianity being the common culture to a secularism no society has ever sustained before ours.

I don't wanna cross-pollinate too much between the stupid people thread and this one, but this New York magazine gig has really hammered home for me how well the old description "a stupid person's idea of a smart person" applies to Sullivan. He's superficially well-read, and can write a whole sentence with no punctuation errors in it, but he's a fucking imbecile.

Of course, as a lot of people have pointed out on twitter already, the Dems already offered him the wall a couple of times in their big immigration reform deals, and he refused it.

Honestly. Andrew Sullivan is tiresome. You can't have that high church pomposity yet celebrate yourself as a heretic. It comes out as a wash.— Richard M. Nixon (@dick_nixon) March 30, 2018

Holy cow. Sullivan got a federal simple possession charge tossed because he was rich and famous and his citizenship application was pending. Now he wants a wall. https://t.co/MvEk2PH61l— Charles, Star of Mic Dicta (@Ugarles) June 23, 2018

I accidentally read a few paragraphs of this without checking the byline at all and I was like who is this catastrophizing accelerationist madman writing for nymag? Jesus he's fucking lost it. I knew this when he was obsessing over the Palin children, but why is he still getting paid by anyone to write this lunatic dribble?

he is a middle-aged adult and he has been getting paid for 15 or however many years to indulge his fetishization of white masculinity in a weekly column. it's so empty, stupid and disgusting.

as a male-presenting queer with facial hair who is attracted to power and masculine bodies i at least appreciate his existence as a lesson about mistakes not to make. many people just cannot see beyond their own asshole and the last thing one of those people should become is a pundit.

She decided to include what she calls a "myth" about "large sex organs" among African-Americans. As a test to see just how fact-checked these essays were, I merely asked her what sources she had that this is indeed a "myth." 2/— Andrew Sullivan (@sullydish) January 6, 2020

I spent a rather long afternoon with Andrew Sullivan at Christopher Hitchens' place ages ago. It was Father's Day. Sully was a condescending dick. From all the noise, I'm guessing that's still the case.— Dennis Perrin (@DennisThePerrin) January 6, 2020
