I watched a news segment of J6ers “retracing their steps” and placing flowers “in honor of” Ashli Babbit at the Capitol. Reminded of how the Nazis mythologized the Beer Hall Putsch and turned the 16 people who died into martyrs who were ritually honored on the attempted coup’s anniversary each year

Broken record: The obsession with "kitchen table issues" imagines an electorate too obtuse or amoral to be reached by any appeal to abstract principle, morality, or any longer-term consideration than the immediate health of their bank account. If that's accurate, the game's already over.

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”
