feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

This is exactly the same as "We shouldn't do impeachment because it will fail." You impeach. And then you do it again. And then you do it again. And you make the far right authoritarian party block it in the Senate, again and again.

yeah, the reason republicans are just not going to budge from texas is the reason why armies try not to abandon their capitals. it isn’t necessarily a strategic defeat to lose the seat of power, but it is a profound blow to morale.

As I’ve asked many times now, what constituencies does a university president represent? Because too often, the answer seems to not include anyone who works or studies at the university, and that seems like a problem.

Yeah, the incident with Cornell’s president and his car / hitting the current and former students will really be pointed to as an important moment moving forward. He concocted some ridiculous story, didn’t express any regret, and everyone just moved on.

The good thing about 2026 is that it's clear that the white supremacists are at the helm. You don't have to argue with Chait et al. You never did. You don't have to read their work because they do not have the range. You can't learn anything.

The German American Bund’s 1939 rally at Madison Square Garden featured enormous banners, American flags, swastikas, and a giant portrait of George Washington. But it was a political organization’s rally, not the federal government’s event.

There's a fair chance this election is what polisci types point to when talking about the rise of the 7th Party System, and where APUSH students in 2060 learn that there was a time when the Sunbelt wasn't the Blue Wall.

the thing about the polls is that no matter how right or wrong they are the trend like in 90 percent of them is catastrophic for the GOP. even in races they've poured tens of millions of dark money into, it's not working. it might be making things worse.

Polling shows this is one of the least popular things he's proposed. It's desperate; voters know it's desperate; no one believes him, and most people are aware that it would be inflationary.
