Weird. I'm using uBlock Origin, and WaPo seems to have no problem with that.
I have a subscription to WaPo so I can't test this hypothosis but I know several of the sites I read let me use an ad blocker while viewing a limited number of articles for free if I register with them, so I wonder if that might be what's happening.

I've just finished reading this new book by Sarah Kendzior, whom I follow on Twitter




Trump, she argues, didn't come from nowhere -- his becoming President was the culmination of a thirty year corruption of US public life by the amoral super-rich and their hangers on, floods of dark money needing laundering, the New York property market, the influence of Russian organised crime and their infiltration of US finance and government, and the corruption of the Republican Party and their embrace of gangster capitalism.

From a review:

A warning to the reader: Kendzior pulls no punches. What is detailed in these pages is, in reality, a true crime work, with the President of the United States as the benefactor of a criminal machine so powerful and immense that it seems every institution of American government and media has, in some way, been compromised by it. The language, for a political science book, gets salty, but it is justified.

4 years I've sat by and watched the left use every trick in the book trying to take down Trump and they still haven't succeeded. Every kind of smear campaign and the entire media has been actively campaigning against him, with the exception of Fox who are only mildly liberal. Worked with the deep state and tried to overthrow the government, trumped up lies and slander and nobody has been held accountable so far. Trump supporters and Americans in general are dying for justice, we're seething for revenge.

You guys might as well be living on a different planet than us, be careful in trying to destroy us, don't be genocidal you need us for the world to function the way it has and all your creature comforts.

By the way my daughter has become a liberal, I know how to discuss these matters without resorting to name calling or trying to dehumanize the other side.
