Has everyone forgotten the pressure Trump put on Netanyahu to not sign Biden’s peace deal? This could have ended long ago and tens of thousands of people could have been saved.

New open access publication from me in Politics & Policy: How Trump exemplifies personalism in American politics and governance

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Donald Trump represents an extraordinary degree of personalism in American politics, especially given the traditional power and capacity of the Republican Party and American democracy. A lesson Trump drew from his first term in office is that he needed to better institutionalize mechanisms of personal loyalty to deal with perceived betrayals by both political appointees and career officials. Out of office, Trump supporters continued this project, seeking to restructure governing institutions around personalist criteria centered on loyalty. This process has a series of effects on American institutions: (a) elevating conspiracist messaging where Trump plays a central role, such as QAnon or claims about the 2020 election; (b) promoting anti-statism, particularly toward public institutions, framing them as corrupt in a way that undermines public trust; and (c) mainstreaming new strategies for governing, such as converting career civil servants with tenure protections into at-will political appointees who can be purged.

I'm still in awe over the Budapest rally for LGBTQ+ rights. Like the 'No Kings' protest was for Trump, the massive turnout in Budapest was the ultimate middle finger to Hungary's authoritarian dictator-wannabe Viktor Orban. 🙌💪👏👊🏳️‍🌈👇

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!!

Trumps is totally played by Putin who knows how to flatter and control him. Not what we think of as a spy but Trump is easy to manipulate. They have a Russian stooge in the White House, parroting talking points, stealing state secrets etc. The very best recruit and well worth decades of investment

Decades of confirmation hearings where women testify to abuse and sexual violence, only for the men in question to rise to higher positions of power, is a perfect encapsulation of why more victims don’t come forward.
