I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by
USA Pickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

One issue is the constitution being written by educated men, imagined that future citizens and leaders would be as educated as them or more, and that therefore their future was always going to be one that respected unwritten but agreed upon centuries of English legal tradition

Miller wants power and he wants to hurt people. He's got the mentality of a serial killer, but sublimated into politics. There were plenty of guys like that running the original German Nazis.

Politicians love to talk about "kids safety" until you ask them to do something that would actually keep kids safe like fund housing, healthcare, education, outdoor spaces, arts programs, etc.
That's because most of them use "safety" as a euphemism for surveillance, control and domination.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

MAGA mantra
Versions of the same:
For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.
One group the law protects but does not bind; and another group the law binds but does not protect.
And that foundation of fascism everywhere: the strong do what they will, while the weak suffer what they must.

It’s not just rampant anti-intellectualism in politics it’s also that the only state functions both sides uniformly get behind are surveillance and imprisonment the other parts of state capacity are viewed as burdens to be resolved not actual requirements of running a country

The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

I think it's easier to understand the Trump Era when you realize nobody actually likes Trump, they just like the anarchy and chaos of being free from social norms and basic civility.
Even his supporters hate him, but he normalized being a monster.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I'm so glad that, after Charlie Kirk's assassination, the rhetorical temperature has been dialed down.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.
