There is an emerging conventional wisdom that resistance to Trump went too far and I am going to lose my mind.

Time to watch History of the World part one except this time imagining the various democrats as the characters who play the scenes depicting Louis XVI and the French Revolution.

We’re all hoping for 2026 to look like 2018. I wonder: what’s the plan for what to do when Russia calls in bomb threats to polling places in swing districts?

What resistance? If nothing else, the last week has displayed little beyond craven obeisance.

Yascha Mounk is consistently disappointing.

Total resistance is fine. Constant complaining is not. Whining about everything, not picking battles, spending time talking about orangeness and diapers -- that's the stuff that turned some folks off. Focus.

Mounk being a dick? Say it ain’t so.

Why is it that pundits are so cretinous?

There's nothing that beltway liberal pundits hate more than winning

If anything, they didn't go far enough.

If anything, not far enough

They better fight, damn it.

When Democrats stand up for equality and against hypercapitalism, they WIN.

When Democrats compromise, accommodate, triangulate, scapegoat, they LOSE, but the consultant class gets paid, so…

It’s pretty simple: if Dem leadership won’t stand up against Trump, then Dem leadership should be replaced.

folks are going to wallow in despair for awhile. Unfortunately. One thing about the current age is to not pay too much attention to Hot Takes, though.
