The "formerly normal" guy referred to here went transphobic years before he went antisemitic. I'm not saying that it always follows that sequence, just that there's an elective affinity.

a few years ago, references to Simon of Trent or Leo Frank trutherism were a sign that someone was an intensely Christian and/or Neo-Nazi right-wing antisemite but now formerly-normal lefty politics influencers who stayed on Twitter casually reply to Mamdani with 15th century blood libel posts

Oh I hadn't noticed til now that Mamdani actually used the safest Talmud reference he could've in that post! The Spielberg/Schindler one, if you will! And it resulted in the biggest deluge of Leftist blood libel in at least a month!

FATALITY
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates: overall takeaway from the Curtis Yarvin profile is that there must be millions of smart-aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their “contrarian” pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces; until, as adults, they still harbor a delusion that, if there is a king, or a fuhrer, he’d be impressed with the guys motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely.

One note about this, because I was curious: remarkably, the state-level explanatory power of Google searches for testosterone and Trump vote survives controls for education, income, and rurality.

The most useful thing we can be doing right now is making Republican women angry at Republican men, because the GOP can’t function without women’s labor or win without white women’s votes. We don’t need GOP women as allies, we don’t need to win them over, we just need them to disengage.

Now, I *am* partly responsible for this, but I want you to know I also deplore the consequences.
Pam, 66, Republican, white, retired
I am someone who has voted for our current president twice because I didn’t feel like I had another choice based on the beliefs I have. But I do believe our current president has caused a lot of the extremes and a lot of the rhetoric and a lot of the issues where people cannot compromise and people can’t get along. I personally am just praying that we get better candidates in the future.

Finally, a lightbulb appears above Robert's head. Maybe the guys who have spent the last forty years doing tax cuts for the wealthy don't actually want to fix the economy for everyone? But that can't possibly be true, can it?
Robert D., 63, independent, white, retired
You used to think that you could count on the Republicans to be able to help out with the economy, and that they would be the ones to fix it. But now it’s more a feeling of it’s going to fix it for a certain few, that it’s going to be the top class or the certain friends that are getting the benefit of the economy, not the general folks.

The politics of welfare in America is one of the most morally disgraceful things we’ve allowed to fester and grow and it’s one issue where the classic leftist “both parties did this” critique is extremely real. Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan are all directly responsible for this

Trump is apparently a choose-your-own-adventure politician to these people. He told you what he would do in his second term. He said he would do mass deportations. He said that he would slap massive tariffs on other countries. He said that he would go on a revenge spree. You just didn't believe him!
Sebastian, 50, independent, white, utility manager
I was hoping he would learn from the first time. All politicians lie and tell you what you want to hear. But I voted for him because he was something different. He spoke the truth. He spoke what was on his mind. That’s what appealed the first time. I was hoping the second time around, he learned something from his mistakes and learned something from, OK, now I know how to really fix this and it’s not going to be the same old, same old. I felt like I was just picking the lesser of two evils. I went with the one that I was in line with more as far as economics. And was thinking that he would fix those, which doesn’t seem to be the case.

Ironically, she's blaming him for not doing something (lowering taxes) he actually did do, which is just the perfect insight into the mind of the median voter. There's a better than 50% chance that she thinks he controls state and local taxes, too
Becky, 51, Democrat, white, retail
Trump said that he’s going to do this. You know what? Every single president since I’ve been voting has said “I’m going to do this,” and none of them, literally none of them, held up their end of the bargain. For me personally, I believe that the crisis with Iran and all that craziness and the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz, that’s blown up our fuel prices and everything else along with it. You know what I’m saying? You can’t get cargo ships through. Every president that I can remember — “Oh, I’m going to lower taxes.” Well, I’m still waiting, and you’re not even president anymore. But I don’t want to just say Trump is the only one who hasn’t lived up to his promises. Every single president that I can remember has not lived up to their promises.
