In the final minutes of It's a Wonderful Life, George Bailey gets to see what the world would look like if it was ruled by a malicious megalomaniac with no empathy and no concern beyond increasing his own personal wealth. Thank goodness that'll never happen.

@jenpsaki.bsky.social: “Look, I don't want to sit here every week and tell you everything is a five-alarm fire… But I have worked in the White House, and in the national security space, for years.

I've been seeing a lot of people on the left and right talking about the 2024 election as if it was a landslide. So I made this chart to put things in context. Trump's win was one of the smallest in modern history.
