This speaks to why FL and TX "downballot" races - are Governor and Sec of State downballot? idk - matter so much. Rolling back industrialized voter suppression in those states puts the GOP in a bad place for 2028. Only one party is pro-democracy. Vote for them.

This penultimate paragraph in @gregsargent.bsky.social’s new piece is a devastating summary of the GOP’s racial politics.
Trump and MAGA have pulled off some astounding political sleight of hand. They have openly advertised that their ideological goal is ethnic cleansing, recruiting ICE agents, and saturating official government communications with explicit white-nationalist appeals. Yet they also succeeded for a time in selling this agenda to Latinos as purely about law enforcement and public safety. This straddle was critical to sustaining notions of MAGA as a multiracial movement.

I'm thinking they've just moved into the Pentagon - a much easier sell with clowns in charge and NerdReich apparatchiks in place. DOGE was always solely about redirecting billions/trillions of federal funds to the 'in group'.

Currently, Germans are busy with their favourite pastime: downplaying the significance of the first joint motion of the winners of the Saxony-Anhalt election. The danger of russian proxies normalizing the idea of russian conquests — just as happened with racism and anti-Semitism — goes unnoticed.
