commonplace

The use of intimacy coordinators has generated significant media attention and become increasingly commonplace in the film and TV business over the past several years.

While there have been no credible claims of fraud contributing to Donald Trump’s victory on Tuesday, and the vote does not appear to have even been close, the election was marred by foreign interference, a commonplace occurrence in every U.S. election since 2016.

In an email to me last Monday, Mercieca added: “Trump's Madison Square Garden event was full of the kind of fascist rhetoric that is now commonplace from his campaign. He has effectively terrorized his supporters into believing that their lives are at risk and that he is the only one who can save them. From the outside of Trump's personality cult, those claims do not resonate. I don't think Trump persuaded any undecided voters with his appeals to fear and hate.”

He went on to argue that the United States is an anomaly in how rarely journalists become politicians—pointing to examples from earlier in American history when this transition was commonplace, including the case of Arthur Vandenberg, the longtime Republican senator from Michigan during the first half of the 20th century.

A few Trump supporters tried to disrupt the DSA members, but no one seemed to notice—a red cap in the wild is too commonplace to react to anymore.
