All it takes is a driven subscriber base and I could see more than one operation like that springing out of the Post wreckage.

"The legendary scholar Richard Neusdtat wrote that presidents derive power from their ability to persuade. By that metric Donald Trump is very weak. He hasnt persuaded the Senate to end the filibuster. Or judges to uphold many of his EOs. Or grand juries to indict his political rivals. Or the public to support his policies. And he largely hasnt even *tried* persuading Congress to codify his agenda.
