Last year my 11 y/o wanted to be a bookshelf for Halloween. And so, we made a bookshelf costume. It turned out pretty great.

oh for sure. Expunging trumpism via shaming would constitute a best case scenario imo. it’s been effective at getting through to family members when patience, logic and reason couldn’t. But I’m also clear eyed that it might be inadequate on a mass scale.

And not that it’s much comfort but fwiw, I think it’s only about 1/3 living in an alternate reality

And I believe the above is very realistic once the momentum of public sentiment reaches a boiling point and overwhelmingly shifts against trumpism

I’ve given a lot of thought to this too (bc of all my maga family members). And I think the short answer is shaming. Banish their ideology from polite society and make them feel embarrassed to have ever been associated with maga.

Packing the Supreme Court (or doing whatever else to defang the current con majority) is a must to achieve any kind of accountability for the trump regime

It’s also the same reason the inverse (tax breaks for the wealthy and trickle down economics) literally does not work. The wealthy don’t spend money, they hoard it.

It’s called the velocity of money and it’s the same reason Covid stimulus checks led to multiple dollars of economic value for every one dollar provided

Shouting "self care" at people who actually need community care is how we fail people.

On this day in 1793, following her conviction for treason, French Queen Marie Antoinette, wife of Louis XVI, was beheaded on the Place de la Revolution in Paris.
