Is Trumpism an American Peronism? I got this idea from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social
In a lot of ways Peron was just a more modern Caudillo, these Caudillos took power usually because these countries were so fragmented that one side was willing to hand absolute power to a guy that believed what they believed or at least said they did.

The only good life is one where you die with a clean conscience. Not that that’s comfortable.
"I have told several people lately that I am concerned this election will be my Joker origin story. But I keep pulling myself back from the brink—I think, in part, because I’ve seen how the nihilism infected my Republican friends."

Per email we are strongly invited to come by the office, which I have done twice since March 2020, for “Ugly Holiday Sweater Lunch.” All norms of office attire shattered. Ordered this. They didn’t say which holiday.

100% if you’re not reading at least TPM’s free stuff, you should. Consistently pithy independent analysis never losing a sense of humor. Top of my list for 20 years.
1. As they say, @bsky.app has the juice. Over the last several weeks, we at @tpm.bsky.social gained a lot of followers, some very familiar with TPM. Some less so. For those less familiar with TPM, here’s what we’re all about, a thread. (with a little reward at the very end)

The folk hero is a huge component of America’s internal narrative and its mythology. It’s shocking to me that we haven’t gotten to this point previously,but if people feel the rule of law no longer applies because of the incoming president and what they see as rampant corruption this may be the norm

The Moguls from Eugene, WA invented the genre “ski rock” — like surf rock, but more fuzz. Sadly for all, no other bands joined this genre.

If Trump cuts aid for Ukraine, it will lead to Ukraine’s defences collapsing, which will set off a refugee crisis in Europe like we’ve never seen before (and that’s before Putin trains he guns on the Baltics). This is all avoidable if we seize the $300B of Russian reserves
