I just unsubscribed from #TheContrarian (https://contrarian.substack.com/), #JenniferRubin and #NormEisen's new anti-Trump endeavor, after subscribing the day it launched.
I gave it long enough to be certain that it's neoliberal garbage through and through. Just a bunch of status-quoniks who aspire for things to be how they were before Trump. As if that will solve anything. Clueless idiots, the lot of them. Or maybe just clickbait grifters. (Why not both?)

@jik I just listened to The Contrarian show w/ Heather Cox Richardson. Jen Rubin maybe asked 3 questions & let Ms. Cox Richardson talk most of the time. At least it seemed like it. The show touched on historical similarities in past US history to today. I didn't get the impression you did. But I don't like Norm Eisen & wouldn't watch that particular show, since I had the misfortune of seeing him on "It's Complicated" (Renato Mariotti & Asha Rangappa discuss legal ramifications of recent events)

@flowerpot I am talking about their written content, not their interviews.

@flowerpot Also, I read literally everything they published for a week. You apparently watched, one interview? These are not the same.

@jik Not at all the same.
I thought you were talking about the podcast/YT channel, and I was trying to give her (Jennifer Rubin) the benefit of the doubt. Thank you for adding more context. 🙏
