American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Aero/astro engineering was recognized by everyone as the hardest major at MIT. The kids who made it through could make a fortune making weapons for a living or work even harder to make a lot less helping NASA do science. Kids who at 22 had the moral backbone to make that choice are losing everything

There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now. The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.

This isn’t a novel concept, it’s highly popularized. And the fact that we’re seeing this attitude resonate so deeply within the so-called opposition party should alarm the shit out of overton-window watchers.

I don't discount this as possibly true but it might give them too much credit. My working hypothesis is that they are cutting wherever they can, knowing that doing so will accomplish the goal of disabling government and making it look bad. Of course I think much of government (not all) works well.

Conservatives claim #Trump / #Vance showed strength. Liberals claim #Zelensky showed strength. Both are right. One was the power of holding all the weapons. The other was personal strength in the face of threats. It says a lot which type of power people identify with.

#Trump and co are absolute thugs. #Zelensky fighting for his countries existence. Trump and co being petulant children because Zelensky didn’t show enough deference to dear leader. Zelensky held his own, but that doesn’t change how the war is progressing. thehill.com/homenews/adm...
