“The most frightening monster of all is not the sensational stuff of children’s stories," @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social writes of the Broadway play Giant, "but the propensity to monstrosity that lives within all of us”:

Great piece by @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social
Pretty sure this has already been optioned by Nicholas Cage
Many people "want to believe that those responsible for great deeds or good art are uncomplicatedly great and good themselves. And they want prejudiced people to be readily identifiable, defined by their shortcomings, and easily expunged from our collective canon and society."

The throughline that connects Cornyn, Cassidy, Greene, and Massie and explains their ouster is not ideology. Some are far-right gadflies, others GOP establishment. What doomed them wasn't their politics, but perceived disloyalty to Trump, who (contrary to headlines) still commands MAGA.
Thomas Massie and Liz Cheney have little in common ideologically. But they have both been drummed out of office because they violated the one unbreakable rule of MAGA Republican politics: never cross the boss. America First was always Trump First, and last night was just the latest demonstration.
