at least on mass deportation, trade, DOGE-purges, and retaliation against former enemies, he was very specific. this was kind of his whole pitch.

one thing the Dem establishment doesn’t understand is that Rogan is *downstream* of the right-wing misinformation machine. he doesn’t originate reactionary conspiracies, he absorbs them, and that’s why he turned toward Trump

This is why I’m wholly unsympathetic to anything regarding Biden’s age being someone’s reason for voting Trump. Democrats did give the country the new, younger option people claimed to want. It turned out they wanted Trump. Kamala had plenty of time, many other countries run elections in less time

i feel like all these arguments ignore the fact that politicians aren't just supposed to reflect beliefs. They can shape them! If swing voters are weird about trans people, fix it. You think they started freaking out about 6th grade soccer teams on their own? OR DID A POLITICIANS SHAPE THEIR VIEWS

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.

This'll sound like a cop-out lazy media-critic-from-the-couch answer, but the media could be covering this like its hair's on fire and calling this the most corrupt administration in living memory, but it's not. Right now the sense of emergency isn't even even a full Benghazi. It's tarmac handshake.

I continue to feel separated in every meaningful way from people who think this is okay. I’m not sure being their neighbor or their fellow citizen is an achievable or desirable goal.

Tomorrow in the NYT: I voted for Donald Trump because I hate the people he hates and wanted to see them suffer. Now that I am suffering, why can’t you find it in your heart to be sympathetic? RUDE

The shortest summary of what we’re witnessing is that the right lost a decades-long ideological battle over the proper size of government, and then, instead of moving on, decided to impose their will criminally.

People voted for a fictional Trump they made up in their heads and the question is whether the massive propaganda apparatus behind him can maintain that fiction while he does all the things many of his voters told themselves he wouldn’t do bsky.app/profile/carl...

Say it with me, everybody: Americans are civically illiterate.
