On the left, an excerpt from the Times article about Platner; on the right, a Platner Reddit post from 2020 (that I transcribed.) The way he describes violence in its most minute detail set off a five-alarm fire when I read it - and totally tracks with the quotes in the Times.

@JoPerryAuthor @citizengatsby How many times did I say, "This is a man who likes domination." Or "This is a man who despises the weak/vulnerable." Or "This is a man who likes to think about violence. About violence done well." People called me a lunatic.
@FlyinMackenzie @CentristMadness @FSOBrat Platner literally said how much he enjoyed killing people

Trump is now sitting back in his chair and dozing off
@thaxter @Wilson__Valdez That’s fair but he also had a VERY adoring media environment from the start. Suspiciously adoring I’d say
@moonbeamer6 @CentristMadness Seems like Mr. Folksy Outsider has a lot of connections to DC NGOs and media 🤨
@nobodyknows2322 The thing about being an outsider is that you *also* need to get people comfortable with the idea that you'll function well once you're in. If I were advising him I'd tell him to start working on that.
@nobodyknows2322 I feel like he's going to need a "change the conversation" moment soon, and it can't just be "The Establishment doesn't like me because I've lived a tough life and I tell it like it is"
@magi_jay He likes to show off. There's an inconsistency between his supposed AuThEnTiCiTy and these kinds of things, which he does a lot of.

Pat your industry on the back for helping Trump sweep it (and almost the entirety of his first term) under the rug as he campaigned for President from 2023 through November 2024.
@CentristMadness @CulRMartin Maybe the press should be *more* in the habit of asking pushy questions of liars and frauds across the political spectrum
@CentristMadness And of course this
@KathrynPaisner @CitedNeed I feel like there’s an awful lot of angst about donations of like $25,000, which considering how much campaigns now cost really isn’t on the scale of Being Bought 🤑

You can spend your days shunning books, cheating your way through school and showing zero interest in the past, but know that in doing so you are embracing an impoverished life. You are a figure to be pitied.

You fucking weirdo
Last week I sat down with controversial senate confidante Graham Platner. Afterwards, my main question was whether Platner and Politicians like him can save the Democratic Party. Find out in my new article “I JUST HAD BREAKFAST WITH GRAHAM PLATNER.” Now available on my Substack.
I would like consultants and other campaign pros to have their candidates practice answering questions without the word “establishment.” It is SO played out. 😬
