California fires reveal MAGA is in its "total incoherence" era

A photo of the Los Angeles Fire Department's leadership shows 75% of the department's leadership is male.

Amanda Marcotte : This is the right's post-election exercise in the "post-truth" era.

She says the right-wing movement takes all its cues from a " Libs of Tik Tok" Chaya Raichik tweeted a picture of the LAFD's leadership, falsely implying that women's inherent inferiority is why the fires are spinning out of control.

Donna Brazile : It's just a vague gesture — "ew, women" and a total unwillingness to explain why women are unfit to serve.

Brazile says the advantage of incoherence for MAGA is that if you never say anything substantive, there's nothing for critics to argue with.

The coverup shows this decision was not an accidental or impulsive, but a deliberate effort to sow disinformation.
