Free Trade And Free People (with Joshua Eakle)

I really enjoyed the conversation I had with @ryangeddie.bsky.social and @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com with @liberalcurrents.com. We talked about my origins in libertarian organizing, my childhood in a Pentecostal community, and what brought to the liberal coalition. youtu.be/c0GgJUaf5BM?...

Knox County Commission District 3

110

This is authoritarian language. Hasan seeks to make the Democratic Party no different from the MAGA cult around Trump.

3211

Hasan Piker (who refused to vote for Kamala Harris) is calling for punishment against Democrats who don't back El-Sayed. He said Democrats should be punished for “factionalism” and forced to “follow the party line.” “If there's one Marxist doctrine the Democratic Party should deploy, it's that.”

Um. Knox County, Tennessee Democrats just flipped a traditionally deep red county commission seat by what looks to be +10 points. November is going to be wild.

Hard endorsement of every word here. Illiberalism is a weakness. Cruelty is weakness. Embracing illiberalism is the ultimate act of debasement and self-humiliation.

If there was a meme that summarizes how this works in practice, it would be this. 👇

Christianity itself isn't unhealthy, but I've seen firsthand how the politically-infused evangelical interpretation of it absolutely can be. /6

2211

That same conspiracist wiring makes them susceptible to nearly identical prophetic claims from MAGA (see QAnon: Trump will emerge on some given day with hidden truth and unstoppable power to destroy the deep state... it almost mirrors Revelation 1:1). /5

1150

The result is a posture that elevates chaos instead of resisting it, retreats into isolation when things get hard, and sometimes even welcomes what damages society... because it reads as prophecy fulfilled rather than a problem we need to solve. /4

2171

This mindset also trains people to treat earthly life as a waiting room. They're "spiritually saving up" for the next world, which (intentionally or not) deprioritizes fixing this one. /3

1160

The MAGA mindset draws heavily on decades of evangelical culture. The worldview I grew up with was apocalyptic to its core. For them, the world is always about to end. Chaos and collapse aren't threats to that belief, they're confirmation of it. Enter Trump. /2

This meme took me back. Having grown up evangelical (in a creationist homeschool community, reading the Bible cover to cover every year) I think I can offer some insight here. /1

This is the same approach that fueled COVID mismanagement and thousands of preventable deaths... and that today is fueling the most unprecedented effort in modern history to dismantle, delegitimize, and destroy every component of our democratic system. /3

Some skepticism of authority is healthy. What's not healthy is retroactively validating the Trump administration's blowtorch approach to our institutions. /2

Ana Kasparian just said Republicans were right about Fauci all along. “When the pandemic began, I had too much trust in our institutions. I've now switched to zero trust.” /1

The most egregious act of corruption yet. If you can afford to pay $100k/mo, you can get early access to Trump's posts before anyone else does, allowing you to front-run market moves and profit millions, while the plebs play in the sandbox. People must go to prison for this.

Trump spent years whining that the DOJ was "weaponized" against him (a former president who claimed to be a victim). Now the DOJ actually is being weaponized against regular Americans. In this case, a former Olympian was targeted to satisfy Trump's narcissistic impulses. apnews.com/article/refl...

We are living through the most flagrantly corrupt administration in 250 years of American history. Every single day, he steals millions from us and from our children. He's turned the machinery of government into a personal enrichment scheme. Where is the outrage?

Putin is so scared of Ukrainian drones he cancelled Russia's Navy Day parade, again. He's now forced to stand in an empty lot in front of a printed photo of a submarine. The world's "second-strongest military" can't put its own ships in open water on its own holiday. Hilarious.

The White House is posting AI slop videos depicting immigrants as monsters. Dehumanization is always the first move of authoritarians. It never stops with one group. The circle widens until everyone except the most devoted (& debased) lose their humanity, their rights, and their freedom.

He is the most dangerous presidential candidate of our lifetimes. Potentially the most dangerous in American history. /4

1212

He believes in centrally planning the economy, culture, and—quite literally—wants to be the dictator that rules over you. While it's important to fight back against the Trump administration, it's critical to understand that the fight against Vance will be the most important one. /3

1172

Its manifesto, which Vance personally endorsed, calls for the "overthrow" of the current order and its replacement with rule by a self-appointed elite enforcing their vision of the "common good." /2
