kind of worried that too many Democratic politicians are just passively allowing Trump and the Republicans to self-destruct so that come 2029 they can “turn the page on Trump” like Biden said he would do the good news however is that I don’t think Democratic voters will accept that this time

"they really believe it"/"they will try to do it"/"the promises are real" are things that most americans refuse to believe about politicians but if you take them seriously will help you predict political behavior more often than not

also in 1974 there were enough Republicans willing to impeach and remove their guy from office. the imminent threat of that was what compelled Nixon to resign.

It's also possible that the polls just look drunk because the country got kicked in the head and is justifiably very upset.

it’s genuinely fascinating how establishment democratic politics in big cities has become so ossified and incompetent that they’ve created a huge lane for the left to embrace good government reforms and build a broad coalition of socialists and technocrats

There's also no option for either blaming the bad vibes on someone else, or improving the vibes. Fox can't cut to a "migrant caravan." No institutions have "gone woke." None of this shit can be blamed on Biden or COVID or your local Democrats.

he could fake his way through everything else, and did, with a combination of racism and public apathy. but it turns out you can't go to war on your own coalition in a democracy, even one on the brink.

In the famous words of Gillian Jacobs on Community, a lot of voters are like “I can excuse the racism!” But there are no follow up questions. They don’t vote morally and are genuinely surprised when amoral people may be using the government to pillage the country.

I’ve come to realize a lot of people don’t care about anything until it affects them personally and he has deeply fucked up the economy and people’s ability to get jobs and go on vacation. American life has changed in the last two years, materially, and universally for the worse.

The broader Arab and Muslim world, major world powers, the UN, the US and European political consensus, even Palestinian militant groups have *never* been more pro-Israel in their actions and words. And yet Israel has never been so totalitarian in its goals. Not a coincidence.
