Nobody wants to believe we're all on our own to fix this shit. That if we don't do it no one will. But it's true! The people on the other side who would actually help are too few to matter, it really is all on us!

The best thing to do is to push them towards blaming the people who've been lying to them all this time.

No greater sign of what's coming than Republicans running ads that ostensibly make them sound like Democrats.

He knows there won't be, because that would be a tacit admission they knew he was unfit this whole time, which gives away the game for all of them.

They want to do what they do and be paid for it, but have it be called the other, more respectable thing.

No President has benefitted more from the default position of most people to take the words that come out of a President’s mouth seriously than he has.

Chainsawsuit.com, webcomic with simple figures but a little more than stick figures, rounded off.
Generic person at computer: "i've heard the rhetoric from both sides... time to do my _own_ research on the real truth"
Google result: "Literally the first link that agrees with what you already believe"
Person looks surprised; dramatically lowers sunglasses suddenly on his face. "...jackpot"

Oh I’m aware, I’m just saying it’s not going to be immediately all on the Dems. January 2029 is another matter, assuming we get there.

Maybe a little, but Trump will still be there and refuse to not be the center of attention at all times. The whole “the executive is everything” framing of things isn’t going to just go away overnight, though some will try.

When job growth was 5-10x this per month under Joe Biden, we were having a nonstop National Conversation™️ about the imminent recession & being told that only the unemployed cared about jobs, but everyone cared about inflation.

The way I always say it is these are not low-trust people, but instead of putting appropriate amounts of trust into many people they put an insane amount of trust into a tiny handful of people who do not deserve it.

This used to be Rudy’s gig. But then he lost his mind in a very public way so they had to find someone else. Christie fit the mold well.

Especially the SEC schools, which have found a lot of their previous advantages taken away by gobs of now-legal cash from the B1G and elsewhere.

The thing about the florid apocalypticism you sometimes encounter on this site is that a lot of people are less horrified by literal civilizational collapse than by the notion that our descendents are just going to keep muddling through and in less than a century nobody will remember us.

This is so important. They’ve broken the economic models that fund journalism is because they recognize the *purpose* of journalism threatens their bullshit-based valuations, ie, the sources of their wealth and power. Yet actual-existing journalists were instead crucial for creating their myths.

So, so many people’s lives are wrapped up in caring about precisely that first and foremost. It’s a big hinderance.

I’ve come to the conclusion that being a contrarian simply for the sake of being a contrarian is actively evil. Having a take contrary to the majority is not inherently evil if that’s simply the conclusion you’ve come to through honest reasoning and research, but as a default, it’s fucking evil.

The gigantic gap between where the team was and where he was exasperated the situation. A win-now team went all in on a guy who turned out to be a long term project at best. They were smart to immediately pivot.

People LOVE the idea that being stupid won't hold them back from being rich and successful anymore, so there's a huge incentive for talking like this.
