If you’re already comfortable and your parents are lawyers or small business people you don’t necessarily need it. But I have never met anyone who grew up like I did (two high school educated parents who worked their asses off) who regretted going to college—even with debt

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph

Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

When job growth was 5-10x this per month under Joe Biden, we were having a nonstop National Conversation™️ about the imminent recession & being told that only the unemployed cared about jobs, but everyone cared about inflation.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

I just want to point out how silly this media debate we keep having is. We need the media to spoonfeed to the electorate that Obviously Evil Plan is obviously evil, or else our whole liberal system falls apart? The problem is the voters. Many of them are not responsible enough to be allowed to vote

The anti-Biden people will never talk about this, and it is the single most obvious and clear sign that: 1. Trump was far worse in every way. 2. They have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. They all checked out when Biden lost, because that’s what they cared about.

The Biden dementia theory has been conclusively disproven, as has the theory that he didn’t use leverage to force Israel to accept a ceasefire (which they did multiple times). No one will ever admit they got these things wrong.

With regard to the overt and jaw-dropping use of public money to manufacture and broadcast Trump politicals ads, I'm just spitballing here, but maybe, perhaps, if the U.S. Supreme Court didn't give the president blanket immunity from prosecution for crimes he wouldn't feel so comfortable criming.

The sentiment index has become primarily a metric of partisanship now, like so many other things. The other stuff matters, but this magnitude of partisan swings didn’t happen in the 20th century, & that is directly linked to changes in the media environment in the 21st.
