    I mean, I feel like the enemies of democracy want us to lose faith in the media because good journalists doing real journalism can actually hurt them, and I also feel like writing about complicated stuff for a general audience on a deadline is just really easy to screw up, so I do try to stick up for them when they’ve got it right or not assume the worst when they don’t, but yeah there are definitely some times I get that feeling too

      “enemies of democracy?”

      The US constantly and persistently butts it’s head into foreign elections with millions of dollars in funding in one hand and CIA agentsthousands of unmarked weapons useful in a coup in another, and you’re crying about enemies of democracy?

      The greatest enemies of democracy are the countries who lead the spread of democratic ideals today.
