In country after country the story is remarkably similar. The ascendant far right has succeeded in getting center-right and center-left parties to accept their issue frames, and no one to the left of the far right is making a compelling case for an alternative. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If marginal tax increases were a slippery slope to authoritarian communism, wouldn’t it have happened by now? At least once? Many countries have had progressive taxation, business regulations, and welfare states for decades, yet not one went Soviet, or anything like it.

The Mamdani thing is hilarious because conventional Dems are all "how can he get away with this?" and his answer is to just ignore the yowling of the worst people on earth. Like just be completely unbothered by what some pundit-poisoned nitwits say. Just ... decide not to listen to them.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

“You are an abolitionist, ain’t you?”
“As to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.”
“Picked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

“the cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

One of my issues with the "okay, it's fascism after all" folks is less about the way they kept blaming other people for being hysterical out of the gate, and more about the fact that if they've taken this long to catch up, their high-profile gig needs to go to someone who's now *ahead* of the curve.

Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

The reactionary centrist argument rests on the notion that “independents” and “undecideds” have been looking at their two choices—an ideologically diverse and wildly imperfect left vs a right that has made peace with fascism—and that…the left is the side not doing enough to appeal to them.

I haven't watched any of the videos of the shooting of Renee Good but the fact that people on the left think it was murder while people on the right think it was self-defense shows that that the truth must be somewhere in the middle.
