It took me far too long to see it clearly: nowadays, the core ideological divide between the two parties isn’t policy.
Democrats believe in the Constitution.
Republicans never did, only a mythologized Second Amendment.
And now even that’s disposable when it no longer serves power.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, exploiting children, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

The Sugar Revolution is a massive event in human history, and a very big part of the American Revolution, too, as well as of colonization. And it seems forgotten.

In all seriousness, who in the world, even among MAGA, genuinely gives a fuck what Trump thinks about a halftime show? Of course he's grumpy. Do you know how many amphetamines it took to keep him awake past 7:00 PM Eastern?

Trump finally accepts ownership of the current economy.
In an interview with NBC, Trump says the U.S. is experiencing the Trump economy.
"I'd say we're there now," he says. "I'm very proud of it."

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Hess is better at his sport than Trump is at anything. I don't know if Hess plays golf but I don't doubt that he'd pick it up quick and beat Donald's ass on the regular.
Attacking anyone who questions his policies using the biggest bully pulpit in the world (no doubt directing vast quantities of vitriol, harassment, threats, etc. toward Hess)

I agree, we should deny asylum, and the solve the problem by just giving them a green card after an appropriate application process.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"
