I dig out the frightening bits--that's all there are--from Edelman's Trust Barometer. It's all about grievances: Festivus for all of us. Nobody trusts or believes anybody, which says to me that right-wing campaigns of fear work. 1/

Cancel all doubt. Walter Isaacson is pure Musk apologist. On Morning Joe, he said to Heilemann:

"Obviously he did not intend it to be a Nazi salute any more than I don't think, say, Donald Trump intended not to put his hand on the Bible....I'm sure he didn't intend it to be a Nazi salute."

The hot take we did not need this morning. Donny Deutsch's: "It was a marketing tour de force....He understands where business, entertainment, pop culture, news come together." Then Joe quotes George Will quoting the Hoover Institution and says it's just pro wrestling.
