Anyway buffoonish hack Ed Martin probably won’t approve charges against right-wingers. So if you’re in DC, deciding what level of force to use against a Trumpist, consider they can kill or assault or rape you without being charged or with the promise of a pardon, and act accordingly.

I think the reason that ‘civic duty socialism’, or ‘socialism with small c conservative characteristics’ is having a moment in left of center circles is that the long hangover of the 60s, where the assumption was that the median citizen would be a square too trusting, too patriotic, is finally over.

What's happening with the left and the economy, by they way, is not "There are different perspectives and the truth is in the middle." It's that they, like a cult, have built a group identity around a false belief that we live in an economic hellscape, and now must police that belief

The part where Bush said democracy is good and that a lesser race should have it was too poisonous for them to enjoy the racist punitive expedition part in the long term

There are a lot of media and Democratic failures happening right now, but the root of the problem is that we don't have an electorate that cares about state capacity or rule of law or democratic government, and unless that changes we're just not going to make much progress.

btw all the leftists who are like “I hate Will but I’m glad he’s changed his mind about things”: -I didn’t change my mind about anything -I’m still 100% right about the economy -if you had one lick of sense you’d understand your dumb economic views are why Dems are acting so weak right now

To be clear about this, the social calculation made by a *lot* of DC policy professionals is "Is this person fun to have drinks with? Then they're my friend," and isn't, sadly, "In this person's day job, is he trying to get immigrants put into concentration camps? Then he shouldn't be my friend."

To be fair I firmly believe being a Trumpist is “incompatible with an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle.”
