One of my half-joking crank theories/fears is that politics really *can* roughly be approximated as a right-left spectrum along which the population is evenly or at least bimodally distributed, and prior electoral consensuses were in part the result of simple informational inefficiencies.

I think it’s pretty obvious at this point that the UK parties no longer map at all cleanly to US parties. Whatever Toryism existed in the GOP is dying; Labour is an increasingly poor Dem equivalent.

JD Vance’s version of the access Hollywood tape in 2028 will be a recorded rant about “Le Sportsball”. Only this time it will actually work. It might flip a red state or two.

My theory is that, consciously or no, voting for Trump was an attempted blood sacrifice of immigrants and queer people to make prices lower. People are upset that the ritual didn’t work. The electorate would gladly let him kill millions openly if it brought back the $5 footlong.

Low social trust people think that if you spill a cup of lukewarm coffee on yourself you can sue McDonald’s for a million dollars but also the airplane crash position was engineered to kill you so you can’t sue the airline. Moreover, they think they’re the smart ones for believing this.

I’m constantly amused at how people seem to believe American political parties are actual political parties in the traditional sense of the word. If 51% of Nebraskans genuinely want Senator Vanilla Ice, there isn’t actually much either state party can do about it.

If you went back in time to 2014 and handed an accurate recap of Trump 2 to somebody, they would assume it’s some bad screenplay or alt history project made by a Maoist who loathes America and American society more than all the 9/11 hijackers combined.

Honestly I've decided to ignore the Generic Ballot for those midterms due to that undecided number. There's a whole lot of people in the US who hate Trump but don't like/trust the Dems, and how they vote is gonna be the difference between a thermostatic backlassh and a generational wipeout.

There's something distinctly medieval about the US aggression against Iran. It's aimless wandering the countryside (or in this case, the skies) and hitting things without any clear objective. It's more like a prolonged raiding campaign. A chevauchée.

Broke: The GOP’s decay is top down with Trump at its source Woke: It’s bottom up with the problem being the electorate Bespoke: The decay is middle out. Its media and politico class made the GOP base a group amenable to a Trump. This middle has made the base and even Trump himself worse over time

The lockdowns aren’t really in the discourse much anymore. People don’t talk about the deaths. We clearly are processing the experience that had a bad impact on us. When Trump is done, I wonder how they’ll handle the reality that they got conned and didn’t make America great again.

I don’t think a lot of progs understand that the non-vibesession explanation is the worse option for them. It means Americans are much more sensitive to inflation than mass unemployment and wage stagnation, which is kind of a death knell for a real, sustainable workers politics in this country.

Dems will get a 50 seat senate at most. If they win the presidential election in 2028, we will get some green energy subsidies and the opportunity to shift some tax credits around. Then a Nick Fuentes - Pete Hegseth ticket will win at least 47% of the vote in 2032

A key reason why Republicans, much less this admin, can’t/wont throw Jonathan Ross to the wolves as “untrained”, “not following protocol”, etc is that the GOP is polarized against expertise as such. It doesn’t even matter that it’s in the most chud coded field. It’s an illegitimate concept.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
