From what I understand, Bryan was a theologically conservative literalist, but still had other reasons for opposing evolutionary theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Jennings_Bryan#Anti-evolution_activism “Bryan opposed Darwin’s theory of evolution through natural selection for two reasons. First, he believed that what he considered a materialistic account of the descent of man (and all life) through evolution was directly contrary to the Biblical creation account. Second, he considered Darwinism as applied to society (social Darwinism) to be a great evil force in the world, promoting hatred and conflicts and inhibiting upward social and economic mobility of the poor and oppressed.”

He was in some ways reactionary (and definitely not a socialist), but was very far from the worst politician of his time.

Quite literally everyone from engineering majors to mega-chuds loves Elon. Americans just have a different mythology

I unironically agree with this. Trump’s charisma (lol) has defined every single aspect of US politics for the last 4 years; if he loses, neither the GOP nor the Dems will have a genuinely magnetic leader, and the left will be able to point out how shitty electoral politics are from the outside.

Of course I would never enjoy the liberal propaganda that smears our good Chapo name - I only wanted to support Chris’s Youtube venture :chavez-salute:

Don’t get me wrong, I think Glenn Greenwald and the Intercept are typically good. I was just poking fun at journalists/pundits who “left the left;” Chapo literally did a bit on this.

Glenn Greenwald, Lee Fang, etc. They’ve had a lot of reactionary (anti-BLM, anti-protesting, pro-“patriotism”) takes on twitter lately.
