Avoiding the horrors by reading horror.
I like comics and movies and books and history. I don't like politics but it's happening to me anyway.
Warning: bad at social media.

Love to live in a world where being taken to The Camps arouses less outrage than "omg they're IGNORING me?!?"

Stating you can't be arrested is treason because it implies limits to the absolute power of the king, obviously.

Independent journalist Anthony Cabassa was hit in the face with a chemical munition, his video shows officers taking aim at him while he was only filming and readily identifiable as press by his camera gear. x.com/AnthonyCabas...

*This debatable for Gore, but in the end he did not in fact become president.

Bill Clinton & Barack Obama were polarizing outsiders who came to office hated by a lot of the Dem establishment.
Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Kamala Harris were team players with long records who waited their turns. They all lost*
Biden 2020 is the only recent counter example.

4/ There seems to be this sense that there's only One True Way to talk about politics, and that's just not the case. Talking about pagentry, about personality, about policy, about coalitions, about lots of other things--these are all meaningful and useful ways of thinking about politics.

"Abundance" seems to mean ditching "NIMBYs" like older liberals, minority communities concerned about displacement, labor unions, environmentalists, etc... in favor of mini-Trump real estate developers.
That's a bad political strategy to support new housing in Dem cities

Sure, I know the term. It's unfortunate that it's become shorthand without being defined. It's easier (but imo irresponsible) to criticize abstract "groups" than specific orgs w/ existing relationships with stakeholders.
And the term is often used to dismiss constituencies & not just orgs.

Wealthy white men who believe in deregulation aren't a problematic "Group" somehow, by crazy coincidence

These chin stroking fluff pieces are blatantly, obviously placed by Musk's PR flacks. They diminish the credibility of any publication that runs them.

They really thought their razor thin win in the presidential election totally rewrote American society and values.
They're totally unprepared for the usual, nonpartisan American grumpiness about government turned against literal jackbooted thugs throwing little babies into handcuffs.

Not.. totally without cause.
I mean at a minimum Russia identified divisions in our society & financially and culturally exploited those. It's not an accident that RT is all over the last decade.
It doesn't absolve Americans of responsibility. But Russia is part of the story.
