for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

Well well well, I wonder how we got here, Mr. Karl Rove: www.sacurrent.com/news/politic...

Karl Rove says Republican Party is being taken over by 'Nazis'
The Bush-era GOP political operative also said Republicans would be winning the battle for Texas' U.S. Senate seat if John Cornyn was the nominee.

Republicans have learned the lesson of Watergate: double down, triple- or quadruple-down if necessary, but never concede Nixon if he were alive today: "What's the big deal? All we did was break into the opposition party's HQ and steal stuff, it's not like we had them rounded up and executed"

anyway, the American id understander himself, Hunter S. Thompson, the next week for goddamn ESPN of all places. the party's over, folks.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."

Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history -- which is no doubt true -- but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a war-time economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.

That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. The time has come for loyal Americans to Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. That is the new buzz-word in Washington. But what it means is not entirely clear.

These James Baldwin words have been ringing in my ears for months. “To be a pessimist means you have agreed that human life is an academic matter. So I'm forced to be an optimist. I am forced to believe we can survive whatever we must survive.” badfaithtimes.com/i-cant-be-a-...

I think there's a universal reflexive revulsion that most people feel when witnessing someone shamelessly stealing from a common good. Racism and other phobias magnify this feeling into bad policy, "we can't let 'those people' have the good thing"

I'm sort of losing my mind at the backlash against @hausofdecline.bsky.social 's "bloodless quant" cartoon. I feel like I remember very distinctly that people complaining about the cost of living were being told, repeatedly, by the commentariat that they were imagining things, charts incl.

A leading indicator for Democratic electoral success is “moderates” who pivot to being “deficit hawks”. The spigot is wide open when the GOP is in power. As soon as Very Serious People see the prospect for the Democrats taking even a modicum of power, they are “very concerned” about spending.

I'm curious, what's the "center" one would fight for here? It seems pretty clear that one of the poles in the body politic has moved off the map into hyperspace. I don't see a "center" anymore. Does a "Centrist Fighter" fight for a couple fewer extra-judicial killings?

Goes hand-in-hand with the "when you don't know how anything works, everything is a conspiracy" conjecture. I hate saying this 'cause it reeks of a superiority complex, but a root cause is general ignorance, coupled with the Internet's ability to grant authority to any random person
