Online leftists for whom insulin prices was a synecdoche for everything that was wrong with America under Biden, this is the moment you’ve been preparing for. I expect to see a swift redoubling of this tendency to spark change in the dastardly mister Trump.

We're gonna look back at the media covering up Trump's senility in the runup to the 2024 election as one of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the last century. Will be a defining feature of his presidency and get worse as the term goes on.

Trump won because of inflation, which is statistically verifiable. You’re just making shit up to justify why people don’t like you.

okay but every fucking company that dropped anything remotely "DEI" so fast without any actual impetus to do so, preemptively for laws that were never going to be upheld because they weren't constitutional, needs to be fucking dragged into the street and stomped on forever

This is what I mean when I say that some elements of the Left are a lot more comfortable with Trump's attempt to revive 19th century Imperialism than with post-WWII internationalism, because it's the paradigm that their ideology is actually designed to interface with.

I simply do not know how the Supreme Court would allow this without setting a precedent that would allow Dems to abolish ICE. And if they try a “no precedent but Republicans get what they want” move like in 2000, then just give up on following the supreme court’s dictates ever again.

The biggest thing stopping Linux from taking over the consumer desktop market is that Linux is an operating system designed by and for people who know how computers work, and most of the people who use computers today do not. I'm not saying this to disparage anyone, it's just a fact.

To state the obvious as has been observed my countless people on numerous occasions, Dems speaking about red areas 10 percent as harshly as Republicans speaking about blue areas is treated as a massive scandal.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

If Trump had never existed and Biden had still become president after Obama, I think he'd have been one of the more effective modern presidents thanks to his experience navigating the legislative process. But Trump exists, and Biden was totally unequipped to operate in the world he created.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Well the issue is that Section 230 is why you can’t be sued if someone goes off in the comments on your website so losing Section 230 would be bad in so many ways I can’t even get to the algorithm part

Just reposting this in a larger form: Trump giving Elon a public vote of confidence is, I think, probably indicative of how much the discontent is starting to break through. Pair it with the leaks from the whitehouse about "Precision" and multiple types of hiring freezes being rescinded..

A lot of baffling arguments in this thread, but I think what it all comes down to is trying to litigate geopolitics via the lens of American intra-coalitional identity politics signalling. Same frame that leads to deciding that Ukraine is doing imperialism against Russia by not surrendering.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Just to back up for a minute. If a democratic admin was saying we want to draw down DoD by 40 percent over 5 years and get a trilateral agreement with China and Russia to cut military spending and de-nuclearize.... can you imagine the screaming from Fox news??

Nobody has ever done something like this before, because it would have been instant impeachment. If we are a liberal democracy in 2030, we will have a very different constitution than in 2024.

The Republican Party has been the motivating force behind most visceral patriotism in my life, because their efforts to destroy the cosmopolitan liberal democracy in which I was born have made me realize that I am in fact quite attached to it, and willing to countenance a lot in it’s defense.
