A lot of our jumping and screaming about how democracy is on fire only gives the other side something to focus on OTHER THAN THE FIRE.

You imply that powerful people at the top getting away with outrageous things indicates that the whole system has changed.

In the wake of the disastrous election, I'm pioneering a new five stages of grief for our democracy. Here's what I've got so far:

My oblivious friend says Project 2025 is overhyped.
I don't suppose he'll be swayed by the fact that Trump selected Project 2025 architect Russ Vought to run the White House budget office, but I think it's a TINY bit suspicious...

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

My friend in a leadership program in grad school sent me this diagram of the “Toxic Triangle.”
So I guess you could say we have a “textbook case” of destructive leadership on our hands.
We need to get better at addressing the problems at the base of that triangle. Way better.
