That the corporate media is only just starting to report.

Last week, I released on my podcast, video channel, and here on Medium my essay on Donald Trump and his followers. I explain how Trump and his MAGA minions are an example of the culture of victimhood. I am not alone in this assessment.

Yesterday, in The Guardian, Sidney Blumenthal penned a piece on how Trump and his MAGA minions are an example of the culture of victimhood.

It’s a solid, detailed analysis and worth reading. I am highly gratified to see a large-circulation publication carry an insightful philosophical treatise. The Guardian tends to be ahead of the curve on many issues, and hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Blumenthal and The Guardian have picked up on ideas that social philosophers have been discussing for awhile.

Cas Mudde, back in 2018, sounded the alarm on the emerging right-wing cult of victimhood.
