These are not serious people. They have not seriously engaged with the dynamics of public opinion and are lost in an eternal, fruitless quest for The Policy That Lost Us The Election and The Policy That Will Win Us The Next Election, which, in terms of historical goose chases, rates with El Dorado

all the politicians trying to find the electorally “correct” position on trans people are being played for suckers and fools. there’s a morally correct position, and taking it isn’t going to affect politics very much

Democrats: “Every time we act like we’re facing a dire national emergency Trump gets less popular. But when we stop he becomes more popular. We can’t figure what’s happening here or what we should be doing. Better keep our heads down.”

Smirking overthrow of the Constitution on a pathetically flimsy pretext. This man is a white supremacist and loves many Nazis; he’s the invader, trying to destroy our country and install a tyranny utterly foreign to our nation. Treason

So therefore the court finds that she does not pose danger to community or present risk of flight.
THE COURT ORDERS THE GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE OZTURK FROM CUSTODY IMMEDIATELY.
"Ms. Ozturk is free to return to her home in Massachusetts."

Trump doesn’t trick people. He gives them permission to lie to themselves.

Like ultimately what is happening here is that there is a very large, very aggressive set of nominally left-wing weirdos on this site whose politics consists primarily of conducting harassment for their own enjoyment. Clarifying the semantics doesn't fix anything because they WANT TO DO HARASSMENT.

They want to be seen fighting Trump but they do not want to be drawn into an actual conflict, which would not have a predictable conclusion and could escalate. So when they have real leverage they lose it in the bushes and then do a protest

and it's absolutely not true that the working class is mobilizing against Trump, especially as a result of "class consciousness"! it's just 100% wrong as a description of anything that is happening or has happened. this is why I think this kind of Marxist frame is so unhelpful

Remember this whole thing? It's literally the law this guy won that he wants to repeal. I dunno. Seems like a big deal. Seems like it would be pretty unpopular. Seems like it would reveal some important stuff about what this administration believes (white supremacy).

I am reasonably confident that if VP Harris had followed a bunch of black supremacists on social media who advocated murdering white people, it would have been news and gotten some coverage.
