Frankly, this is political pseudoscience. Postulations of intra-group unity and intergroup incommensurability are as facile and cartoonish when framed in terms of "civilisations" as they are when framed in terms of "races". Thankfully, IR as a discipline is moving on from this sort of nonsense.
Amid the liberal internationalist optimism of the late 1990s, Samuel Huntington foresaw a world marked by continued conflict.

The idea of a global “clash of civilizations” wasn’t wrong—it was just premature.

Angry person yelling at chill person who is responding by being calm, which makes the angry person even more mad? Problematic rage gap.

Broken Record: You *cannot sustain* a functioning constitutional order if the general population is blasé about open violation of the Constitution. If voters don't care, your job is to make them care. This is not optional. If you don't, you lose even if you pick up seats in the next election.

yep. transphobia is the camel’s nose under the tent for the full panoply of right wing gender policing, for men and women alike
not that it should have to be like this for people to care, but everyone should understand that anti-trans bigotry is a threat to cisgender people as well as to trans people.

This is a now or never moment. The way we respond over the next few days, as individuals and institutions, is crucial. And currently we're missing the mark. If we don't act now we will lose everything.
Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."
But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

This is the best analysis of what makes these goblins tick I’ve seen yet.
Last week, I wrote about how explicitly and vigorously sociopathic this version of The Trump Experience is, and the urge to defeat or devour every other person and thing on earth.
