Fusionist rhetoric aside, these are the three major electoral facets of American conservatism, as described by @angiemaxwell.bsky.social & Todd Shields in The Long Southern Strategy, and they’re much more tightly unified by Great Replacement Theory than by fusionism 17/x bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

The lawless presidency & "The Long Southern Strategy" (per @angiemaxwell.bsky.social) are Nixon's two-fold legacy destroying the republic.

Who institutions memorialize has nothing to do with the people being memorialized and everything to do with the need of the institution to seem human. The institution is, however, inhuman. Only we can memorialize those people even as we abhor the cynicism of the institution.

"1 in 14 judges confirmed during Trump’s presidency were confirmed after he lost his reelection bid. Perhaps the best known of those judges is U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon. " Will Biden/Schumer/Durbin show any sense of urgency in pushing to confirm judges?

The president-elect wants to keep a number of seats in the judiciary unfilled, despite his push to stack the bench after he lost in 2020.

The majority of white women are raised to compete with each other. Missing is any sense—whether in moments of triumph or eras of suffering—of the collective.

I wrote about Bluesky's big week and the post-election realignment in social networks www.platformer.news/bluesky-thre...

My Threads feed has been bombarded over the past few days with journalists announcing that Bluesky is their new home, and that if they continue to post on Threads, it will only be begrudgingly. “I’m going to keep crossposting articles here but BlueSky is so much better than threads in every way, there’s no comparison,” 404 co-founder Jason Koebler wrote.

Journalists are only one constituency, of course. But they are not alone in their enthusiasm: over the past day there were nearly 10,000 posts about Bluesky on Threads, according to Threads. And based on the hilarious number of them that Threads’ For You page put in front of me, Bluesky has many happy users.

looks like the cable news anchors are finally asking minor questions like “what does a mass deportation actually look like” and “are you going to deport citizen children?”

In prison news, Arkansas governor announced a new 3,000 bed prison with news of a land purchase, which came as a complete surprise to the local elected officials and legislators for the area as they learned about from the media. To the surprise of no one, all the locals are pissed.

🧵"The Long Southern Strategy: How Chasing White Voters in the South Changed American Politics" by @angiemaxwell.bsky.social & Todd Shields explains how race, gender & religion all played an identity-shaping role in reshaping US politics. But there was also a cognitive dimension as laid out here:
