I love leaving voice mails for my senators where I say things like "the USPS is very important to our country" as if I'm helping a small child with a book report or describing our civilization to an alien

I've noticed that Americans assume it's merely Trump the rest of the world sees as untrustworthy and I think it goes much deeper. By electing him again, the American *electorate* obliterated this country's credibility. We demonstrated a collective and enduring untrustworthiness.

Since the next step for people like Trump is to blame the consequences of his actions on others, the most effective response to people like this is "It sounds like they lied to you." You can't turn these people into overnight liberals; you *can* shake their trust in the people who deceived them.

i’m sorry, but you can’t pretend to be a cynical, savvy politics-watcher while simultaneously insisting that you don’t understand why the political press wants to ask democrats instead of republicans if they’re going to trigger a shutdown. stop being stupid.

I'm using "senator" as a pejorative for someone who's simultaneously naïve, cynical and self-aggrandizing.
