The NYTFT has gone all in on “a new era of conservatism” with this article.
First, they directly compare tech bro billionaires flocking to bend the knee to Trump to the “surge in support for social justice causes” after the killing of George Floyd by police. Nothing problematic about that comparison, right?

Later, they quote a “top banker” as saying, “We can say ‘r*tard’ and ‘p*ssy’ without fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.”
I know the NYTFT has always been conservative, but this together with the way the Washington Post has been cosying up to Trump, says a lot about where the US is headed.
Edit: wrong acronym
“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘r*tard’ and ‘p*ssy’ without fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.”
Imagine how pathetic you’d have to be to say this statement unironically. But I guess that’s why this loser didn’t let them use their name.
He should fear a lot more than “being canceled”.
Here’s a thought: if you’re being canceled, there’s likely a reason for it. Perhaps consider what circumstances brought you there.
Wonder how he feels about “hang the bankers, praise to Luigi!”
Its fucking bad. They’re trying to paint the picture Trump wants to see of himself. Democracy is dying in the corner. I just hope Trump meets the same end his hero’s have.
Its like the progressive era, but in reverse.
The Regressive Era
Fascist oligarchy
“New” era. I don’t think we’ve had a progressive candidate in office since the 1970s. We’ve been slipping towards fascism, minor stop gaps and small caveats/wins before full speed ahead into enacting Hitler’s dream.
It’s pronounced “fascism.”
And by that, they mean embracing the era of robber barons?
