It's a very long article with many examples, but these highlight well

One 82-year-old woman, who wore pajamas with holes in them because she didn’t want to spend money on new ones, didn’t realize she had given Republicans more than $350,000 while living in a 1,000 square-foot Baltimore condo since 2020.

By the time a Taiwanese immigrant from California passed away from lung cancer this year at age 80, she had given away more than $180,000 to Trump’s campaign and a litany of other Republican candidates – writing letters to candidates apologizing for not getting donations to them on time because she was going into heart surgery. She had only $250 in her bank account when she died, leaving her family scrambling to cover the cost of her funeral.

And a 78-year-old, a widow who limited showers to save on her water bill and canceled her long-term care insurance, didn’t understand why the retirement savings her husband had left her was dwindling so quickly. After CNN reached out to her family, they learned that the woman gave more than $200,000 in donations to Democratic political groups and candidates.

I think in the modern day of internet and with each campaign setting up a website, and normal reporting and debates, town halls, and Rally's is sufficient, we don't need all these mailers, and constant ads, and texts, and so on and so on. it's more just a giant transfer of wealth from the people to networks and ad agencies.

All this money has turned politics towards sensationalism, and it's hurting society.

I've noticed this on my side too, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but I don't enjoy the style if it is.

It's also good for keeping wasps from building nests for the same reason

At one point, it was thought to be very safe because of its fire resistance, treated as a miracle material. many buildings throughout the world were made with asbestos, and many still exists.

Joe is getting the Jimmy Carter treatment from Trump with Iran, just like Regan gave it to Jimmy with the Iran hostage crisis.

Quite abstract indeed

Silly name imo

Also called composite extremism, it is “driven by a myriad of messaging within mainstream social discourse as well as extremist propaganda that is internalized by an individual,

Reminds me of the Stand Alone Complex talked about in Ghost in the Shell

So many different stories of bad things and symptoms of societal decay and not enough highlighting what's going right and improving that it misrepresents reality, and to some, that triggers an irrational but internally-rationalized fight response that appears incoherent
