I don't know if "sane-washing" is the right term. It seems more like they are working as campaign staff to spin a message out of his ramblings.
If they were interested in journalism, they'd say that Trump's plan to lower food prices is to love rainbows and receive love from sunshine. You know, just stating the facts. The term "sane-washing" to me infers that the entity doing the sane-washing is a journalist and not a campaign staffer.
It's much older than Clockwork Orange. The church condoned all sorts of torture during the Medieval and Renaissance periods, all sorts of evils during the Spanish Inquisition, torture and killing of Native Americans, and I'm sure many other atrocities that can be found across the globe.
The conversion camps are just the latest iteration of violence against those they consider out of line or outside of the church.
Hormone therapy is an external change to align with how someone internally identifies. Taking hormones doesn't change how a person identifies themself.
Conversion therapy is an attempt at an internal change to align their identity with how they are perceived externally.
While I could see someone out there attempt to conflate the two, they are fundamentally different. Not to mention the data showing how HRT is helpful and conversion therapy is harmful.
Frankly, the conversion camps should all be banned due to the wide-spread use of vomit-inducing drugs, electrodes placed on the body, pornography, and shame tactics used on minors. I still can't see why they can be legal when there are camps that strap minors to a chair, force them to view pornographic images, and shock them when they view people of the same biological sex.
I wish it was that way. I've seen a 20 year old get brass instruments mixed up. Many reference squidward when talking about clarinet, oboe, English horn, and bass clarinet. Unfortunately it isn't just musician vs a 5 year old.
We were so close to getting rid of him in 2018. Only 215,000 votes! Hopefully with this being a presids trial election year, more Dems will make it to the polls and we can kick him out!
In 2016, Clinton wasn't that far behind Trump. She only needed 5% more of the registered voters to vote for her (~810,000 votes) and, in 2020, Biden was even closer needing ~3.7% more of the registered voters to vote for him (~630,000 votes).
If you want to avoid the line, go during the first 2 weeks! Polls open Oct 21-Nov 1, with one final day to vote on Nov 5. Polls will be open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours the second week. We were the first state to have an early voting period, so take advantage of it, there's hardly ever a line more than 5-10 minutes during the first two weeks.
Check voter registration, important election dates, deadlines for registration, polling locations and hours, and more at www.votetexas.gov
Edit: spelling
Also, don't forget that Biden received more votes in TX than NY. We have a strong blue presence, don't be left behind make sure to vote this October/November! There's many more offices, such as State Supreme Court seats, All US Reps, all TX reps, 15 state Senators, Ted Cruz, and many more positions at stake!

Has not only the linked voter registration check, but also has important dates, polling locations and hours, and other information.
Polls open Oct 21-Nov 1, with one final day to vote on Nov 5. If you don't want to wait in a line, don't put off voting until the last day. Polls will be open at least 9 hours the first week of voting and at least 12 hours during the second week and final day of voting!
Weren't those part of the Titans Expansion on first release?
I thought I remembered the flying healer along with Hippocrates and catapult/ballista for Atlantis at least, if not the Norse and Egyptian units
Edit: just looked it up on the wiki and those were all new. Probably why the campaign was a little easier than I remember when playing AoM 20 years ago lol
Thank you! That makes more sense. I never played that Chinese civ because of how bad the reviews are.
I'm glad they worked in some upgrades to game play as well.
How does this retold version differ than the AoM game thats still active on Steam? From everything I've seen, it just looks like a graphics upgrade.
Hopefully he tanks that campaign too. We need to take the trash out this election!
That definition goes with "spinning" the story. However this goes beyond just spinning and it's much more than just whitewashing over a couple imperfections. This is completely rewriting his words and campaigning for the man.
This is taking spinning a story to a new level and "sane-washing" just doesn't convey the weight of their actions. With these actions, the New York Times is more like Trump's A-team campaign management. It's almost like a reverse Dunning-Kruger Effect, where they attempt to make him look like he has ideas and substance when there isn't any.
