The #BrokenTimes does not merely open but smashes the Overton window by declaring Trump and his fascism "mainstream."

@jeffjarvis “Had The Times highlighted Nazi atrocities against Jews, or simply not buried certain stories, the nation might have awakened to the horror far sooner than it did,” Alex Jones and Susan Tifft wrote in their book "The Trust: The Private and Powerful Family Behind The New York Times."

@jeffjarvis Well, he's the president and had one of the main parties behind him. What's mainstream if not the. Nazism was mainstream in Hitler's Germany. That doesn't make it good, that just makes it mainstream.
