reality-based world.

The truth is often not comfortable or pleasing so people (some, not all) prefer news or journalism that reinforces their world view.

and his supporters are buying every word.

Hell, they think he's going to win 70% of California.

It's very funny actually, in a sad way

He's a fantasy writer who thinks that if he wishes for a pony long enough it will miraculously appear on his doorstep.

Fuck him, seriously. People posted that swill like it was the gospel truth and it was our job to refute it. Massive fail.

Could someone please enlighten me?

How is that different from: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

Which multinational conglomerate owns them now?

I mean, I know the authors there have to be a little whacked already, to be writing for a corporation for free and all, but still, even a modicum of self-awareness would be appreciated

That guy is so full of shite the whites of his eyes just turned brown!

He said that seeing the truth is boring and depressing so we should vote for a metamodern thought experiment named Bernie Sanders because universal wavelength function means that anything is possible! And then he name-drops David Foster Wallace, who would have been nauseated by the tortured mess he just published.

"I’ve been a metamodernist creative writer for many years now, but had not seen an opportunity to bring this earnest, optimistic, and loving art practice into my professional writing activities until Bernie Sanders came along." AKA "I have just been making shit up all along and y'all have been silly enough to buy it"

Which in all fairness is what pundits do all the time anyway.

So when is HA Goodman going to 'fess up to his hallucinatory, post-postmodern confabulations?

Chant it enough, people think it's a fact.

lambasted by males for having the audacity to actually aspire to be President...as Mr. Ferdman puts it "since that moment in the 1990's when Hillary Clinton decided she would become President." Gee, Mr. Ferdman, how very uppity of her. So much for telling children in this country that anyone can grow up to be president. Of course, if you don't have a penis, that ambition will be held against you and used by political hacks to equate any dream you might have (to hold an office that only men have held for hundreds of years) as evidence that you are...what? Ambitious? Hardworking? A Dreamer? Want to lead and improve our country? Feel you could be a positive force for the USA? What a sexist double standard. Right up there with Ferdman's ridiculous mega-sentence about why it is ok to lie about a failed campaign and basically create his own "reality".
