a major societal problem is that conservatives are socially conditioned to assault anyone who disagrees with them while liberals are socially conditioned to avoid conflict at all costs

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

"We don't want to turn into a banana republic, so we won't try to rein in corporations" is the kind of thing you say if you don't know what makes a banana republic a banana republic, and instead want to be a banana republic where the bananas are data centers.

a big part of being a good president is being smart about who to listen to, and organizing your office so you get good advice. trump is a uniquely terrible president bec (a) he refuses to listen to anyone who disagrees with him about anything, and (b) if you flatter him he'll do anything you ask.

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

When Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson was running for president in the 1950s, a supporter purportedly said to him: “Every thinking person in America will be voting for you.” Stevenson replied, “I’m afraid that won’t do — I need a majority.” (Stevenson would win nine and seven states in '52 and '56)

“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

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

Here’s hoping that’s the case, but if Democrats who ride that wave decide it’s more expedient or just easier to “turn the page,” they’d be squandering the opportunity to bury Trumpism forever. There have to be consequences for this mis-rule.

President Trump gives out Tom Cotton's cell number over the daylight savings bill.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
Everybody in Arkansas, Tom Cotton, a friend of mine, is holding up a very important Bill. It's called,
"The Sunshine Protection Act" or, "We Don't Want to Change Our Clocks Twice a Year Act." For some reason, Tom is stopping the Bill and, in the Senate, it's very easy to do, it only takes one! It should pass overwhelmingly, in a Bipartisan fashion. So, everyone in Arkansas, a State I love, and won 3 times, the last by by 34 points, tell Tom to, GET IT DONE! It will be appreciated by all. Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! The PGA TOUR, as an example, needs more Daylight in the afternoon in order to finish their Tournaments. Likewise, regular Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. See letter from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA TOUR below. 65% PLUS want more sun in the afternoon, Daylight Saving Time (The way it is now!), but 100% don't want to change their Clocks twice a year. They want to, as they say, "LOCK THE CLOCK!" Who doesn't? It's very expensive for our Nation where you have high and dangerous steeples to reach, like on churches and municipal buildings. Almost everybody wants
"The Sunshine Protection Act" to pass, except for Tom Cotton. To the Great People of Arkansas,

When President Trump won in 2024: he won with a multi-racial ticket too. And the real question has always been: can Stephen Miller and Rep. Monica de la Cruz exist in the same coalition and does Trump have the political skills to manage that contradiction?
