your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

I really wonder if a lot of these people just thought that China and other countries were just gonna cave immediately to all of Trump’s insane demands and so the tariffs would never become a problem

I still think that Trump accidentally found out about this one and that’s why the stooges are firing on all cylinders with propaganda. Daddy’s going to be sad and they gotta keep daddy happy.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

I wonder if Johnson et al have noticed that their strategy of blaming democratic lawmakers for the shutdown isn’t really going well, so, with no other ideas, they’re pivoting to LOOK OVER HERE ITS THIS PROTEST’S FAULT

I think the speculation that Trump unexpectedly got wind of it and is provoking a sudden scramble to discredit the protest ahead of time is probably correct. The admin is performing for an audience of one.

Going to the dentist in America is also bourgeois, the problem isn't people with cavities

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

Is it perhaps because you have no good answer for what marginalized people in the South should do when living in gerrymandered MAGA fiefdoms want us dead?

This is equal parts ignorant and deranged and it’s odd to see otherwise intelligent people agreeing with it

How many times do we have to go over this? The majority of the Black population in the US lived in the South. LGBTQ+ folks live largely in the South. MANY of us did not vote for this.
