When you aggressively assert executive power to change the content of museums to make an ideological point about how great America is, you may just be fundamentally misunderstanding the whole ideological point of America. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... #USPOLITICS

@lincolnproject.us The Dems and their allies need to think outside the box. They are spinning their wheels when they should be easily getting traction against Trump 2.0. Here is a free idea for a creative political communication team: open.substack.com/pub/robertbu... #USPOLITICS

MAGA elevated Trump as their tribal totem. They can’t separate their own interests from his. Because they assume these interests are synonymous with the interests of the nation, they undermine pluralistic democracy and enable (even require) authoritarianism. open.substack.com/pub/robertbu...

How many conservatives who gleefully criticized the hesitancy of liberals to deviate from "woke" orthodoxy are now scared to criticize Trump in public for fear of the wrath of MAGA? They "bravely" refused to use preferred pronouns. They should be at least as brave to refuse Trump's authoritarianism

In 2009-10, Tea-Party activists raised hell because they didn't like the bank bailouts or Obamacare. The relentless pestering of Congress helped flip the House to Republicans in 2010, halting Obama's agenda. It's time we begin such hell raising. A lot more is at stake this time.

open.substack.com/pub/robertbu... If you are looking for a primer to understand the history of and many of the key theoretical, political, and empirical issues at stake in the debate over school vouchers this is one place to start. Although 20 years old, the report still has relevance. #USPOLITICS

Trump 101 1. Fabricate outrageous lies about the threat posed by Democrats. 2. Use a fragmented media environment to scare voters about the fabricated threats. 3. Once in power, do what you accused your opponents of doing in the name of "saving" the country from the fictional threats. #USPOLITICS

I criticized Musk a few months ago. I haven't used the site since the election. I'm not sure what this is in reference to, but good riddance.

When you elect a sociopathic criminal billionaire with a history of corruption and fraud as President, is it any surprise that he and his billionaire cronies would try to rule the country as corrupt and fraudulent crime lords? #USPOLITICS

If we had a Democrat opposition skilled in political communication the crash could be a teaching moment to reveal just how despicably disordered MAGA thinking is. Devotion to Trump requires one to replace logic, evidence, and common decency with faith in the lies of a racist sociopath. #USPOLITICS

Thank you #PeteButtigieg for standing up to and calling out #TrumpFelon . This air disaster is his fault and trump knows it. That's why he's blaming Biden and dems and #DEI. Funny how there were zero air collisions under your watch Pete. After all the #MAGAts call you a DEI hire.
