In Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping can plainly see a version of themselves. He is doing their work for them. He is damaging American democracy, diminishing American power, and destroying American alliances with an energy and an efficiency that must exceed their wildest dreams.

"what if we resist with violence" is emotionally appealing. absolutely. it's also hard not to look at history and see it tends to be less effective. violence is precisely the tactical and narrative terrain the state wants to fight on. www.liberalcurrents.com/neonliberali...

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Is it just selection bias that I'm seeing more of these because my social media landscape is attuned to them? Or are the mainstream media making more of a point to include a "I never thought the leopard would eat my face" quotations from ordinary people than they did in the first term?

Notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s fabricated immunity, he will go to prison if he’s ever not president again, and he knows it. The next four years will be about ensuring he can remain president for life, because the institutions with the ability to physically remove him from office won’t.
