Have I ever talked about how populism is explained by people thinking politics works like a movie script?

I think it's unreasonable that some prominent US politicians and their leftists supporters have a more extreme opinion on Hamas than a significant number of people in Gaza actually being bombed by Israel

Couldn't be any negative consequences of associating the entire group of ruling elites with a shadowy cabal of wealthy Jewish people. Nope, no downsides detected. I'm sure this will work out great for progressivism.

Is this where society is headed? Will anyone be able to have a normal conversation about anything without "Zionism" being brought up?

The thought of something weird happening with the 2024 election would have never entered a lot of people's minds if Trump himself hadn't said he won Pennsylvania because "Elon understands those vote counting computers" the day of his inauguration. Pretty strange thing to say for no reason!

If they’re doing this out of some sober concern for winning the election, it would require the belief that you can run someone who captures leftist voters while not losing the same number (absolute best case) or more (realistically) centrists, which is conclusively incorrect

"Donald Trump is an extremely terrible human being who should not be president of the United States." That's a very simple idea that many many people on the left and center have spent the past 10 years dithering about for some reason. (cc: @tmbhmltn.bsky.social)

Nobody's saying online posters have more accountability than elected Democrats. It's that they have *some* accountability, i.e., greater than zero, which adds up over many accounts, and the problem is that accounts with large followings like Internet Hippo seem to believe it is zero.

I see polls like this and my reaction is "meh." I need to see >70% in a poll to convince me something is making a difference.

I can't bring myself to make fun of this, it's so quaint. Twee socialism. I fully support this guy's mission to build a society where you're constantly tripping over pharmacies.

One of the bullet casings used by Kirk’s assassin had a strange set of markings that FBI analysts have yet to determine the meaning of.

Many people (including many women), consciously or not, perceive any woman claiming she has what it takes to run the government as being condescending and unserious by default

I would still like to know what exactly Donald Trump was referring to when he said this

Thag Simmons @dhsanders.bsky.social · 10/08/2025
I don’t know if this guy, who is very dumb in general, is saying he agrees with this would-be argument from Trump, but it is a good point that he would do this and it would probably work

I joked recently that as soon as Trump showed the slightest modicum of a positive sentiment towards Gaza people would be saying “Trump has done more for Palestinians than the Democrats have done in decades” and well,
