I am curious what political cleavages are gonna emerge between the young/old as our population ages. Housing is the big one I think of, where older homeowners block new construction or vote to freeze property taxes as they don’t feel an obligation to the young.

Still think the most like Senate result is Marshal wins like 51% to Hamilton’s 46%. So like 10 points closer than this race should be

I love that Kansas occasionally has a Senate race that looks kinda close before all the quiet conservatives break for the GOP on Election Day. Maybe that won’t happen this time. I think Hamilton might manage to win 45% of the vote instead of the typical 41% a Dem wins

One of the most deranged sections of internet discourse I occasionally run into are the people who have intense debate over whether men and women can be friends. Just be normal! Very easy to be friends if you follow that simple rule.

I continue thinking one version of the Bad Future (20 years or so from now) is Democratic lead states eventually endorsing a form of quasi-nullification to get around an aggressive, sectarian, far-right, and ineffecitve Federal government trying to force its will on them.

Does the NYT publish any essays about the numerous state schools that have extensive agricultural programs? My small public school had a full farm with cattle, chickens, horses, and pigs

Bush '08 numbers speedrun Hope he gets down to 29% in November so we can see what the bottom falling out looks like

Lowkey if they face a total blowout (Dems gain 10+ in the Senate and 50+ in the House) then I could honestly see there being 10 R votes in the Senate for conviction if he’s impeached

Police Board budget demand goes from ‘crippling’ to ‘catastrophic,’ mayor says
Last week, Mayor Cara Spencer had a disagreement with the rest of the Board of Police Commissioners, to the tune of as much as $72 million. But since then, the parties have only gotten further apart. ...

I do find it funny whenever a tech oligarch is like "yeah we're just going to destroy the white collar middle class in this country" and doesn't stop for two seconds to think about The Implications of such a revolution

Bad for me as a graduate looking for a job, but at least November 3 will be cathartic as fuck Hope the GOP does not take office at the national level again until I’m in my 40s

Yeah this is why I think the risk of a cool zone moment post-election are increasingly. They’re in a deeply radicalized ideological bubble that does not believe legitimate liberals/leftists exist. Some of these guys seem eager for an American Tlatelolco to occur.

I do think one possible, but also very bad, outcome of this is a legitimate quasi-breakdown of the Union over the course of 25-50 years or so that sees state’s exert greater levels of authority as the Federal government becomes increasingly unstable

Trump has the unique ability to engineer incredible backlash by the sheer force of just asshole governance And this time around it’s 100% more intense, cruel, and unhinged

We’re like 2-4 bad decisions away from discovering if “Presidential Breakdown” in the US is possible and I’m not looking forward to that.

I think one of my greatest moments in undergrad was when I emailed Eric Foner about how much I loved Reconstruction and he replied 5 minutes later. It was awesome

Building off of this, I kinda think Obama might be remembered in a mythical Kennedyish way among our generation. The last "Great President" before this country went off the deep end of right-wing authoritarianism. His flaws paved over as, compared to what came after, he was a saint

I beat this dead horse a lot, but I am quite worried about what public education is going to look like in Red States in 20 years plus the knock on effects of their systems decaying. Will there be quite meaningful quality of life differences between Blue and Red states in the coming decades?

I do not think there is an Administration in modern history that misunderstood why they were elected or their own coalition more than this one. We're at Bush '07 numbers and the bottom hasn't even fallen out yet!

Gotta say they honestly deserve an award to get down to Bush ‘07 approvals before things have really blown up economically Thermostatic backlash going to hit this admin like a hydrogen bomb

Manchin and Sinema blocking the John Lewis VRA seems like it could become the greatest political disaster of the century if Section 2 is wiped out.

Wichita is weird because politically it’s very conservative for a city of its size. Very much like a high-plains city. Also its suburbs are VERY red. Underrated center of the GOP dominance of the state (besides them consistently getting Assad margins in rural areas with few major cities to counter)

Pro-Imperial conspiracy theorists in 29 ABY arguing the "Death Star" wasn't real and also the Emperor was trying to prevent the Rogue ISB from making one. Alderaan just did that.

Yeah think the reason why “Trumpism without Trump” candidates fall flat so often is that they are unable to effectively mask whatever cruelty they espouse. Unlike Trump who’s celebrity status seems to shield him a bit and as a consequence people take him less seriously

Really am not enjoying the natural experiment we are all living through to see how much you can materially worsen the lives of Americans without suffering an electoral loss. I do think the GOP will be like the dog that caught the car eventually but the losses on the way there are sickening

Based on the inconsistent lore of Star Wars I think most planets were basically used to at least 1,000 years of home rule with the Republic having a pretty light presence. The Empire basically throws that out the window and as a consequence lose the support of local elites they need to rule.
