Chungus Khan @tedlassostan.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Right! A) They have a proven ability to monkey with close elections. Doesn’t help them much when closest election is looming to be KS- SEN. B) Trump has a proven ability to get people to commit crimes on his behalf around said close elections. Who is going to commit a crime for, eg, Marshall? 100

Chungus Khan @tedlassostan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Under ordinary circumstances I’d say the next D Pres will have limited levers to positively impact prices, but in this case he’s left a big “Lower Prices Now” button in the form of tariffs which can be repealed thru executive action! 010

Chungus Khan @tedlassostan.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I actually think it’s less that they were geniuses and more that they were willing to say, ‘Well fuck, this isn’t working, let’s try something else’ whereas all the southerners from Fancy Lad School insisted on Doing Their Bullshit over and over again even when it wasn’t working 000

Chungus Khan @tedlassostan.bsky.social · 25/09/20263) as @unavaleable.bsky.social writes, people have an easier time imagining the end of democracy than the end of the sixth party system, even as Trump is smashing the sixth party system to smithereens 2/2 020
Chungus Khan @tedlassostan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026i try to remind myself of a couple things: 1) the confederates returned to power in this country ~10 years following engaging in armed rebellion 2) we’ve really only approached being a full democracy since 1968. Trump is an aberration but really not a huge one 1/2 130

Chungus Khan @tedlassostan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I would argue, rather, that America has elected a government and President that is selectively choosing the worst of every element of what America HAS been.

Chungus Khan @tedlassostan.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Even if, say, KS Sen is tight, no one wants to risk going to jail to make it a 46 seat R senate minority instead of 45. I'm sure they could find lots of takers for the 50th seat 000
