“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

FDR had some great ideas (and some, uh, Korematsus) but if you’re looking for a president who truly understood the white American psyche, you want LBJ

In fact I actually think this is immensely corrosive The idea that the thing to do in life is take on your fair share of the task of social production in exchange for your fair share of the bounty is just totally moribund, no one believes in that because why would they

Teton county (where Jackson, WY is) just had a couple cases of measles, and surprise, they're now out of measles vaccine (or were, they may have sorted out the shortage) because SURPRISE, people who have "strenuous objections to vaccines" suddenly forget them when the alternative is "get measles"

As unpopular as the Iran war is, the coverage still doesn't do justice to the fact that they just could have not done any of this. There was literally no reason beyond general bloodthirstiness and incompetence.

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

The great thing is that you can remain a generic center-left Democrat & still tap into voters’ demand for change. See: Ossoff, Pritzker, etc. You just have to show that you are ready, able, & willing to fight. That’s the central intra-Democratic Party cleavage.

Only the accident of birth separates us from a child in a South Sudanese refugee camp crying for milk that won't come. The administration, every major news organization's editorial board, the richest man on Earth, and his enablers want you to believe otherwise, and they are lower than dirt for it.

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

Absolutely. As I've said before, FDR's court-packing plan failed because most Americans didn't recognize the conservative majority there was acting in a partisan fashion. But the Roberts Six are deeply corrupt, nakedly partisan, and barely bothering to hide their contempt for precedent. Let's go.

I think one of the problems is that people keep saying conservative when they actually mean racist. No conservative is like, "Oh, I can't listen to Kendrick because I'm actually in favor of a small, limited government that doesn't put money into a social safety net."

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

Trump's whole strategy with Iran was to break the "rules" and kill their leaders. He assumed that would scare everyone else into submission. Instead Iran said, "No rules? OK, then we'll close the Strait and fling missiles at every oil facility within 2400 miles. How many Patriots you got left?"
