Correct. And also by this standard the pro-Palestine campus movement lacked discipline. They could have kicked out the Arab nationalists and earnestly genocidal lunatics but did not do so

I would love to see orders of magnitude more discussion about what "swing voters" should figure out, deal with, suck up, get a clue about, etc and orders of magnitude less discussion about how protestors should coddle random third party's hallucinations about this section of the electorate

What happened when the U.S. forcibly sent 400,000 Mexican workers back to Mexico in the 1930s? The employment rate of native workers went down noticeably as a direct result. (You read that correctly) Why? Forced repatriation destroyed low-skill markets. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’ll have to admit, even those who assumed the worst, Trump has far outdone even that.

I think there's a lot of truth to this but it's also really important to observe that right wing protests do not have this problem. Even very small groups of right wing activists get widespread press attention (because the press likes Republicans and wants to help them)

As we descend into a police state dictatorship, we should be clear that the media helped it along. Journalism in this country is cooked.

something I find frustrating at times is how many folks, on here or elsewhere, are willing to write people off who are pretty clearly on the same side because of one bad take they can definitely add up to the point that it’s worth writing people off but imo too many people set the bar too low

We’ve leapt over a lot of red lines in the last week. But one I find most worrying is Trump/MAGA/ICE have ceased even pretending to claim some criminal pretext for cracking down on protected speech. It’s just straight up “if you criticize us, you’re getting throttled/arrested/disappeared.”

Underlying all this is a profound cultural rot where accountability and honor have died a total death, leaving a mass of utterly self-obsessed mediocre misanthropes with immense power and influence which they dedicate to broadly petty interpersonal catfights and public masturbation whenever possible

It really cannot be emphasized enough that the ownership and leadership of the NYT is just deeply onboard with Trump and his whole political project

Yes I hate it that it’s Newsom standing in the spotlight. He has been horrendous policy-wise. On Housing, he has not wielded his power in a way to push more through despite being completely capable of it.

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

I do think its worth stressing that Events™ are going to dictate the environment for the 2026 and 2028 elections and we do not have a reliable way of predicting whats gonna happen next week, let alone years from now

People surprised by Newsom are missing one or more of: 1) he's never been a "Dems have to find a middle ground with Trump" guy but a "Dems need to win over Trump voters" guy 2) he's a reliable partisan Dem 3) he's 100% Californian, for better and for worse 4) he's made of pure ambition

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It's absolutely insane that I've had to have multiple conversations with a person to tell them that Trump was the President during the George Floyd protests and the signing of the CARES act printing all that money, and that Joe Biden was not president until January of the following year.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Not only are media pundits annoying and siding with fascists, they also have literally zero clue about American politics so they cannot actually formulate a good take and have no perspective to call out these terrible takes.
