Extremely persuasive candidates who have won notable shares of Trump voters, you know, like Zohran Mamdani, Mikie Sherrill, and Abigail Spanberger! Justin is not wrong to suggest that progressivism is broadly persuasive and that we should endeavor to be inspiring and compelling people!

Just like reading the replies to this post, do people not realize how many Trump voters have... already voted for Democrats since 2024? ymrp.substack.com/p/young-men-... I am so grateful there are people out there who actually know what persuasion is and how to do it!

Russian-born American businessman Konstantin Sokolov gave $11M to MAGA Inc. and donated to Trump’s ballroom. He was recently tapped to lead Trump’s $201M TRIPP+ investment fund. @luchkov.bsky.social and I dug into his past and found that his former partner worked for Oleg Deripaska.

Right — the age-old principle of letting somebody *else* do the beta-testing should also be avail here to those who chose it. This forced-enrollment into the experiment is fucked.

Just to be clear, this isn't much different from what he wrote in Dobbs. To which Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan aptly responded: "This is to ignore as judges what we know as men and women. The interests women have in Roe and Casey are perfectly, viscerally concrete." [2]

I don't get it.
