“In the Trump era, the right creates its own reality and uses the informational tools at its disposal to encourage and enforce conformity to it. In a normal party, turning on a dime from “Biden is a vegetable” to “Biden’s drug use made him unbeatable” would cause intellectual whiplash.

Biden must be a vegetable, and so an otherwise inexplicably strong debate from him must just as surely be attributable to some secret real-life version of the drug in Limitless.”
