This November, and in November 2028, everyone is either voting for the Democrat or enabling fascism. Those are the only two choices. We really, truly are voting blue *no matter who.*

![What, if anything, is Trumpism?
There is not really any rhyme: there is no consistency or predictability in what he does. His actions in situation [A] will tell you little or nothing about what he may do in situation [B].
There are, at a general level, certain themes: he is indifferent to norms, he is cunning, he likes leverage, he will renege on deals, he has a sense for ratings, he will often back down. But these are tactics and improvisations: they say little or nothing about which subjects he will engage with next.
And nor is there is much reason: little or nothing he does makes sense, at least for the reasons he gives – or for the reasons his partisan supporters come up with to justify his actions and inactions.
It would be fair to say there is neither rhyme nor reason.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nx2kxyxako6sobj4g4pdkl6s/bafkreiht5hm2c5ywad6s6pn3zttwxw2hxnvdvmhokkfoyz4o6zmy3p6myi)
