“Smollett has shown that the most absurd narratives imaginable will continue to gain credence because they fill a deep psychological, cultural—and, yes, careerist—need for millions in the country to believe that
- hate crimes are epidemic,
- that they are the currency of the Right, and
- that they can only be addressed by more government scrutiny of a particular class of victimizers such as the
the Covington kids, or
Smollett’s mythic red-hatted Trump racists.”---Posted by Glenn Reynold"
