I mean, scholars of fascism were like, “He’s going to attack universities, the media, and unions, and he’s going to arrest his political opponents,” and most of America was like, “Stop exaggerating.”
SEIU California President David Huerta has apparently been charged with a federal crime--conspiracy to impede an officer. This is a felony that carries a sentence of six years in federal prison.

Trump’s senility gets a pass because it’s so energetic
President Trump on World War I:
"Recently other countries celebrated the victory of World War I, France was celebrating, really.The only one that doesn't celebrate is the U.S.A.And we're the ones that won the war.Without us,you'd all be speaking German right now.Maybe a little Japanese thrown in."

Conservatives kvetch all the time about how liberals hold rural areas in distain but no one in this country hates anyone more than Republicans hate cities.
Duffy: "If you're liberal, they want you to take public transportation ... the problem is that it's dirty. You have criminals. It's homeless shelters. It's insane asylums. It's a work ground for the criminal element of the city to prey upon the good people."

this is the right message. frame work requirements as government waste because it is.
Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money.
Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment.
Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

a man who famously has some of the most unpopular opinions of all time got elected for a second time and pundits still think voters care about policy positions as much as they do.
I think a really underrated idea for Democrats would be to to try:
(a) Study public opinion accurately
(b) Adopt views, especially on social and moral values issues that align with public opinion
Or they can try this.

The cement king of Sioux City who drives a brand new F-350 and has two vacation houses in Florida isn't an elite but a grad student with $200,000 in debt and a nose ring is, that's how this works.
It would be so useful if everyone who writes about “elites” could make the tiny extra effort to be specific about who they’re actually talking about

it’s pretty remarkable how the Democratic Party is self-flagellating more in 2025 after swapping out their candidate and losing the popular vote by 1.5% than republicans did in 2021 after losing the popular vote by 4.5% and inciting an insurrection

i met a man once who voted for Trump because Kamala “can’t even string a sentence together”
Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

ICE doesn’t view undocumented immigrants as people.
ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE.

true, the president has betrayed everyone he works with and destroyed everything he touches, but you fail to understand that I'm built different
CEOs are always held up for their alleged wisdom and savviness but it was always bone fucking obvious that throwing in with with Trump was a terrible idea.
"Hostile and political" to give consumers accurate information about costs, fees, and taxes. Pretty standard GOP ideology, given their hatred for the CFPB and their love of hidden fees and so forth.

trump famously has unpopular opinions and built a political career on “saying it like it is,” so it’s funny how many consultants and pundits are paid to tell Democrats to base their entire policy and comms agenda on sticking their finger up in the air.
