Washington Post... this is pathetic. Biden is looking for actual patriots, not 'superfans' [1]

Damned frigging straight!
This is so disgusting, and, yet, it passes for actual journalism.
A hallmark (or pathology, depending on your perspective) of contemporary American politics is the outsize presence of the superfan - specifically the hat-wearing, boat-parading, election-denying and Capitol-storming followers of Donald Trump, who only became more zealous once he won the presidency (and especially after he lost it). Most recently, a crowd of Trump superfans assembled outside Mar-a-Lago to proclaim their undying devotion to the former president after the FBI searched his residence on suspicion that he had improperly taken classified documents from the White House.
Here's the full story, if you want to suffer through all the false equivalence, shallowness and horribleness.

I'd have been run out of my intro to news writing class for this claptrap, but it passes muster at the Post? My goodness.
The headline should have read, "I talked to Biden supporters. Here's the ones who support my conclusion."
