Apparently this all is about the next IU game and homecoming and they didn't want the student paper with critical stuff laying around for the Alumni and prospective students to read, instead Mark Cuban is mad now ooops

There is this idea that the Nazis when forming their ideology had 21st Century level access to information one hundred years ago.

While the is some inspiration from Manifest Destiny in the Lebensraum idea, it is a fun house pastiche! Most leading Nazis had never left Europe or even Germany, and spoke little to no English! They knew the West through Karl May pulp novels!

As someone who can read German, these posts trying to pin Nazi ideology on America are so funny to me.

Policy doesn't matter, what electeds do or don't do for constituents don't matter, votes don't matter all that matters is the right content for the right group of politics fandom

I didn't know what repelled me the most about this clip, but I got it now is the way politics as content is on display here by the podcasters.

What is the point of our commentariat class if they are incapable of recognizing the basic facts of reality?

I think even DC reporters (while they do that) have a better grip on these races than the SF and LA based podcast pundits.

"why haven't the tariffs soured the public on Trump?" what even is the point of listening to Klein or the PodBros when you do not even get simple facts about reality from them.

It is insane to me that his approval is in the toilet, especially in the economy and the chattering classes just pretend it is not happening.

G Elliott Morris @gelliottmorris.com · 9h

alternatively, trump's at 41% approval — that's pretty "sour" right?

Dan Hopkins @dhopkins1776.bsky.social · 10h

In his interview w @jonfavs.bsky.social, @ezraklein.bsky.social asks, "why haven't the tariffs soured the public on Trump?"

An answer from my book on ACA opinions: the contemporary US economy is so diverse & complex that even sizable policy changes don't move opinions consistently.
