The "class struggle" leftists/progressives treat Trump supporters as if they were children, waiting for instruction. In fact, they are not misled about their own interests - it's just that they prize authority and race/gender privilege over general prosperity.

From Jacobin, the most dishonest possible start of a dishonest article following the election where Trump was bankrolled by Musk, Theil, Andreessen, and similar bozos. The US "left" is dedicated to keeping Republicans in power.

The federal government's workforce hasn't grown in over 60 years. Local governments' have. So Trump has created DOGE "to cut the rampant growth in government jobs." And DOGE will have no power over local governments. But guess which billionaires will get govt contracts to perform the cut jobs?

It’s just frustrating that the right wing never has to do shit, even when they lose. Never have to reach out, to welcome, to understand, to moderate their positions. They get to be who they are & never apologize for it and people will blame progressives for not putting up with that shit

Yep, that’s definitely what the Constitution says — if an official is charged with committing high crimes or misdemeanors, we just put it to a popular vote. If he’s elected, all charges are dropped. Clear letter of the Constitution, plain as day.
But the Constitution trusts the judgment of the American people to decide whether the cases against Mr. Trump, as he has argued, were political and calculated to stop him from being elected.

When people say the academic legal profession has failed us, they have "Judge" Jones in mind. If for example Harvard Law was not failing, Jones would be example number one of an outlaw judge, acting in ways that Alexander Hamilton would have considered despotic and illegal.

As per usual, many of the initial claims of plunges in urban Dem turnout (i.e. "20% down in Chicago") are proving premature; many major cities simply had (and still have) a ton of ballots left to count.

Liberals Are Giving Up on America
In their despair at Donald Trump’s victory, liberal pundits are concluding that the masses, especially the working class, are irredeemably terrible. That’s apolitical nonsense.
