She also can’t conceive of cis women *not* cooking, thus reducing *everyone* to outdated gender stereotypes.

I don’t have to trust The Week. Sources are cited within the article.

I don’t disagree, and that speaks to some of the other problems in this country. That said, I work with people who don’t know anything about Trump’s first term or what he’s doing now. It’s shocking, but smashing through that ignorance barrier on a broad scale is vital to saving our democracy.

I’m starting to think you don’t understand my argument and have no concept of the American social and political landscapes, so I’m muting you now.

The reality is that plenty of people either didn’t know better or didn’t understand why his first term was such a big deal. If we don’t acknowledge that and ask “why?”, the problem continues. IMO, investing more in civic education + creating a robust public news option would help.

I’m talking about the majority of Americans who don’t follow politics closely enough to bother sharing anything on social media. It’s a mistake to assume your level of civic engagement represents most people.

This assumes that everyone who voted for Trump is a diehard MAGA. Most Americans don’t follow politics and vote with extremely limited information. “Owning the libs” is what unifies MAGA, but it doesn’t resonate with the people who had no idea what they were actually voting for.

I think what is happening is that trump is a product of a reactionary political project that has been ongoing since well before he was in office, and people are making the mistake of conflating that with the idea that he was an inevitable consequence of american culture

This is justification for wanting to further empower insurance companies to charge outrageous premiums and deny coverage to as many people as possible to maximize their profits.

I was thinking this too. I have a defective kidney, so my takeaway here is that my life isn’t worth investing in, and it’s my fault that my kidney didn’t develop properly in utero.
Healthy people don’t have birth defects.

You just made it harder for a lot of married women to vote.
Another Democrat to throw out of office.

2. He's not going to get big wins: Tariffs were low before this mess, and if Trump negotiates competently, they'll be low again. Basically no gain.
You've seen this movie before: It was NAFTA which got relabeled by Trump in 2020, but really barely changed.
