I miss the days when “I’m not a witch, I’m you” was enough to completely destroy a Republican political career.
Now, it’s just John Birch redux all the time.
The right is a movement of dissociated people existing in an unreality fed to them every day by a self-contained media ecosystem.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Well said.
Right-wing populism has no antidote to genuine left-wing populism. Because the conservative movement, no matter how much you dress it up, is fundamentally about one thing: shielding capital from the reach of democracy.
It cannot solve problems like declining affordability that its agenda created.

100% agree w this.
Have lived in Calif (20+ yrs), Texas (4+ yrs), Wash state (2+ yrs), DC (long time) MA and MS and GA and outside US (long time). Not NYC.
No one outside NYC spends ten seconds caring who the city elects as its mayor.
But you can recognize political talent, which ZM surely has.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

The reason for this is that this class of people has internalized the idea of conservatives as the American Volk, an idea downstream of the senate and EC giving them more power than their numbers that has somehow become a quasi spiritual belief about the nature of the country

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...
Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.
