I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

What I think everyone is overlooking is that the Republican majority in Congress could legally do most of the same things he is doing - but they aren’t and they never have. That’s how you know it is not at all about Republicanism or Conservatism.

The same Republican politicians that assured America that he would not do these things are justifying his actions. We have seen this play before and it does not turn out well for the populace.

It is clear that a lot of the existing leadership of the liberal order is largely weak, indecisive, risk-averse, and ineffectual. This is not proof of the failure of political liberalism, but it does mean that much of today's leadership is going to have to be replaced with militant liberals.

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...

Donold’s supporters don’t care if they lose their jobs or their freedom as long as he is performatively ‘owning the libs.’ That’s how much they have been taught to hate you.

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing." Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!

What are the chances that an Army run by this boozy bozo would crash a Blackhawk helicopter into a plane at a DC airport tonight? I mean, really.

If you're with ICE or any other authority targeting innocent migrants, don't expect cooperation from me. Your failure is a blessing for humanity. I hope your job is soul-draining. I am actively rooting for your anxiety and frustration. I would rather gargle broken glass than make your life easier.

If someone asking a powerful person to show kindness to those without power offends your Christianity, your Christianity would offend Jesus. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
