    Nick Fuentes, an avowed “intel” and white supremacist, speaks to supporters on June 15, 2024.

    I get that proofreading is hard, but come on.

      There is also:

      The constant drumbeat of weird sexual displays is likely a major reason the MAGA coalition, which was flying high at the beginning of the year, is losing popularity rapidly, especially with younger voters.

      Fuentes is no outlier in MAGA. In 2025, the right’s leaders and influencers revealed the deep sexual dysfunction driving their movement. The constant drumbeat of weird sexual displays is likely a major reason the MAGA coalition, which was flying high at the beginning of the year, is losing popularity rapidly, especially with younger voters.

      Unless it is normal to wholesale repeat a paragraph in another paragraph? The article is just weird.

        It’s a pull quote, the way it’s presented on the page is pretty normal. They’ve copied the latter half of the paragraph and put it in a frame above with bold type for emphasis.

          You are right, but (as not OP) I gotta say I dislike that in both internet and legacy media. Can’t they work around that so the quoted text only appears in their highilght blocks? I feel like I’m getting spoon-fed suggested facebook statuses when I’m seeing a (web)page formatted like this.

        I’m not disagreeing with the article at all.

        But it’s right there before the article even started. It’s not a very good look.

            Why are we defending a publication that makes money via advertising and subscriptions for failing to have an effective editor? This isn’t someone posting nonsense in a comments section; the author is apparently a “senior writer” for Salon. Why should we stop attempting to hold supposed professionals accountable for being professional? I get that the world hasn’t exactly been great at professionalism lately, but letting our standards slip isn’t going to fix that.

              Have you ever worked a news desk? I have. It’s making sausage. You just caught a glimpse of someone dropping the meat and stuffing it back in. Write a letter to the editor with a correction if you want to help. Here, editorial complaints go nowhere and serve no purpose.
