> The website blends the 1970s classic Grouch with possible future classic Glacial Indifference. (Based on those font names, I’m detecting that Hutchinson may be the victim of a prank by a web designer less loyal than Brad Parscale.)

1. Incredible article

2. Whoever built this website and did this, I salute you

But I'm guessing none of the candidate websites opted to show links as undifferentiated text with the º symbol.

Oh, is that what those circles sprinkled liberally around the text of the article were? Reading this on a phone, I was completely mystified by them. Thought it was some font rendering issue.

The site's choice of using a degree symbol to represent anchor links needs to be ripped apart.

It IS seemingly needlessly nonstandard, but I’ll actually take it over the infuriating default all so-called “UX designers” insist on today, which is links differentiated solely by color, and an almost identical color to the surrounding text. Underlines are great. Using a recognizable color is great. The fact that it makes links stick out is a feature, not a bug. continues to bang head on table
