no pre-Trump trend of wanting to tariff everyone or invade Greenland or give Ukraine to Russia or accept huge crypto bribes or do lots of rape. 2/2

Part of the gamesmanship is to point to some trend or tendency from twenty years ago and say "aha they have always been like this" but there is a difference between someone existing in a coalition and it becoming ascendant. Beyond that there is so much that is just Trump personally. There is 1/2

Clinton made massive and outsized gains in the south and with conservative parts of the Democratic coalition. He moved Louisiana *left of center* in 1996. It may have been cultural fit rather than pure ideology but there was *something* going on other than a linear shift from economic conditions.

I feel like there may be some lesson here for the democrats and media and everyone accommodating the right if you dig deep enough.
A lot of people have this idea that you can be like “I’m so sorry; I’ll do better next time” and the conflict will go away. But that presumes the people who do this have an actual grievance. They do not. They are trying to rhetorically attack you and you’re just showing them it works

It's s also a generalized expression of resentment against the professional class, from the oligarchs who do not want to pay for skilled labor, to the rightwingers who resent the presumption of greater knowledge. "Oh you scientists/experts think you're so smart, we'll replace you with chatbots."

I don't think that this is quite right-I think that when the parties were relatively balanced on civil liberty type issues many of these libertarians had flexibility to talk about civil liberties. But when Trump took over the party and any honest accounting would have required them to prioritize 1/

I think that if you assume that the goal of in person is to bully and exert power over your employees and/or get them to quit and that all the stuff about training and mentoring junior employees is fully pretextual, it makes perfect sense. here is also a kind of rightwing cultural signaling for both

I think sometimes about how Neil Diamond, America's least controversial singer, often used as a punchline for a kind of lame blandness, had a hit song about immigration.
Remember when "America has many groups of people in it and that's good and makes us strong" was an uncontroversial - even cliched - viewpoint that was universally endorsed across the political spectrum?

This is pretty common when thing on X dot com now. This thing where Principled Liberals engage with troglodyte gutter racists spewing slurs by just politely responding to them like peers in a debate club. It’s completely deranged.

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.
