I think it was Ezra Klein who did the useful exercise 10-15 years ago of surveying Republican electeds and economists to get them on the record as to where they actually thought the point existed. Vast majority refused and the few that did respond picked a point way higher than the highest tax rate

anyway I’m going out to protest this weekend because we haven’t been beaten yet, and I suggest you do the same it’ll make you feel better than reading an endless stream of posts about how we’re all doomed and we might as well offer ourselves up to be processed into slurry for the MAGA AI mines now

Another example of why traditional media (which adheres to long-standing journalistic standards) cannot compete w/ the right wing media sphere, which plays by completely different rules. It's a completely asymmetric playing field. The left can't compete by relying on traditional media for messaging.

They like Trump and want to help him. The ones who pretend not to like Trump are not doing this out of shame but because they have liberal audiences they would alienate and stop listening to them if they were open about their intentions (which would not help Trump, which they want to do)

I’ve seen a lot of “the left is blowing this race by uniting behind a socialist like Zohran” takes but not enough “the establishment/center is blowing this race by uniting behind a sexual harasser/corrupt weirdo like Cuomo” takes

New from me: I had a lot of thoughts on WelcomeFest, the Trump-Musk breakup, civil protest movements, and (again!) why the left-right binary of politics is dead and gone. www.altrightdelete.news/p/there-is-n...

democrats categorically cannot say that any place they govern is successful or a nice place to live because it is immediately met by an angry backlash from the left about how the economy sucks actually

Will the mainstream media stand in solidarity with reporters being brutalized by Trump's goons or will they push "violent protests and blue city anarchy!" stories? I think it will be telling!

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

I think it's really important to note that where we are is because the Trump admin is: a.) unpopular b.) failing miserably c.) mostly stuck in the trenches fighting to try and get any of their priorities done.

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

I picked a weird night to watch Andor Season 2 Episode 8. Which is excellent by the way.

Lots of people right now are worried about the Trump Regime trying to declare martial law. I'm more concerned about governors and mayors in blue states folding so the regime doesn't need to. Encourage your governors, mayors, etc., to hold the line. www.altrightdelete.news/p/hold-the-l...

interesting to note that 400 protesters have monopolized all of LASD’s enforcement power because they tried to help ICE arrest half a dozen guys working at a Home Depot if you’re scoring on efficiency, the protesters are winning

they’re having this hard a time with a small handful of raids they didn’t publicize beforehand if they want to roll in here in force they’re quickly going to find they don’t have enough of it, and the worse this gets the more of the city they’ll activate
