Ich bin Anthony Fisher, leitender Redakteur und Schriftsteller für das Digitalteam von MSNBC, wo ich die politische Berichterstattung und Analyse verwalte und auch Kolumnen schreibe. Zuvor war ich Senior Opinion Editor bei The Daily Beast, Politikredakteur und Kolumnist für Business Insider sowie verschiedene andere Stationen. Als Strafjustizreporter habe ich mir meine ersten Erfahrungen gemacht – mit Schwerpunkt auf Missbräuchen durch Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft sowie der Drogenkriegspolitik. Später engagierte ich mich direkter in der politischen Berichterstattung. Ich bin seit sechs Jahren strikt auf der Seite des Meinungsjournalismus, was mir sehr entgegenkommt. Mein Hauptaugenmerk während der Trump-Ära lag auf dem Weg rechtsextreme Ideen und Zahlen werden in den Mainstream gewaschen. Lassen Sie uns am Freitag, den 13.12. um 11 Uhr ET zusammenkommen und über den dritten Abschnitt der Trump-Ära sprechen.

Do you accept any responsibility for the political backlash that got Trump elected and then elected again and „permanently solidified“?
The constant and ubiquitous hyperventilation about Trump seems to mint political capital for the man. Have your efforts contributed to the permanence you feel he has achieved? Were reactions to Trump ideas/events more potent than the ideas/events themselves, allowing Trump to capitalize on those reactions?
Ok, now how do we get rid of them?!
Honestly, the things that have happened are exhausting and I’m tired of watching every day how Trump is doing terrible things. It’s like our faces are getting rubbed in it every single day and so I just stopped watching. I need good news. I just can’t take the losses anymore.
That said, if I knew of something constructive to do with my time and I could watch to see what the latest calls to action are, I might start watching
again. But as far as I’m concerned, I voted and I did my part, and every day I see the system failing and it’s just a freaking disgrace.
Maybe talk more about local elections and how people are getting things done. The Republicans spent a lot of time working at the local level and Democrats just simply don’t have that kind of coordinated organization in my opinion. It would be nice to know what people are doing to address the real problems that we have that can be fixed by communities. I’m just tired of hearing about the big bad that I can’t do anything about. And if that’s all MSNBC wants to talk about then I’m not going to watch.
I know this hasn’t been a question so far but this is where I’m coming from and I guess my question is how can MSNBC help us know what we can actually do rather than informing us about all the things that we can’t control anymore?
Permanently? Until the next election, right? Right?
And there was less than 2% difference in popular vote. We have two mainstreams political cultures, neck and neck.
Q1: How can you solidify a movement when it is based more on personality than ideology? Other than immigration and tariffs they literally flip flop on every issue.
Q2: do you think the likely cost increases caused by tariffs an loss on manufacturing jobs in some places will impact Trump/MAGA. Or will it be explained away.
Is isolationism far right in your opinion?
