Everything we’re dealing with now is fallout from decades’ worth of mistakes that have been compounded because the people who made them have hung onto power and hidden their crimes. God help us. What a truly awful moment and we’re all stuck here against our will.

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

MAGA is composed of ~10 separate factions that convinced themselves they are all aligned as one. They are not, and the tariffs are helping to break the factions apart. Notice this and amp up differences and grievances. Break them apart.

The problem is how people are taught to think. Education is seen as a means to employment, rather than a lifelong process of self enrichment. Similarly, the silo effect is a pox on thought. Most innovative thinkers through history have been informed by multiple disciplines.

The problem is that wealth inequality was the underlying causation for peoples emotions, their hopelessness. This was unacceptable to american oligarchs; immediately after the war writers like Mises and Hayek were promoted. To them totalitarianism was something entirely disconnected from business.

(1/X) People often say things like "why does Trump appeal to people?" The answer is simple: he tells them what they want to hear. He has no beliefs of his own so he has infinite flexibility to do so. That is what narcissistic sociopaths are like. And that is why in any discussion of Trump...

The NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, etc etc have shifted to the right. Fox & the Post et al have always been hard right. Twitter & Meta are controlled by right wingers. On a daily basis, millions of Americans - probably the majority - see nothing but sanitized, accomodationist, right wing coverage of Trump.
