Yeah like, I find myself being conservative as I:
- listen to people who know better than me and try to learn from them (people's experiences with race, gender, etc) and don't try to force them to adhere to my beliefs
- expect honoring of words and promises, and especially the more power you have

Ed @ed3d.net · Apr 2

It’s funny—I find myself becoming more conservative as I age. By which I mean I believe much more in social duty and in shame, and on a day like today I can’t remember the last time I saw a Republican demonstrate behavior that showed an understanding of either

I mean I've been saying for a long time that Plater is an experiment to see if you can build a campaign around a fake candidate

And there it is. Platner mainly is this pet project for this consultant group, finally their own candidate to test their theory and they were so eager to test it (and so arrogant in believing nothing will stop them) that they overlooked all the downsides.

I realized now that its possible that "blue collar" in US cultural imagination is similar to things in foreign media where characters wear "traditionalist" clothing that amalgamates together different periods of time into a homogeneous aesthetic. Its now a "traditional costume" in America like

this man is a true poster

The ordeal does not appear to have dimmed Bushart’s zeal for posting. He was back on social media Thursday, posting prolifically about baseball, candy corn and politics.

Everyone thinks they can simply end history, win the final battle, conclude everything. But they can't. History keeps on going.

Starfish Who Can’t Think Something Witty @irhottakes.bsky.social · 18h

I think fundamentally the problem with post liberal thinkers is that they seem to assume that vanquishing liberalism results in their enemies being converted or defeated and not becoming radicalized into enemies who no longer extend the mercies they once did.

the reason I don’t think there are votes to do it for all legislation is that suddenly the marginal Rs would have to vote on a bunch of things they really, really don’t want to vote on

part of the reason the electorate doesn't really think Republicans are that bad for the economy is because they haven't had to deal with a Liz Truss style implosion because of the filibuster serving as a guardrail

2. They defy him & he goes on an enraged scorched-earth vendetta against incumbent GOP Senators.
