What is really going on in this society that elected Donald Trump president a second time?
I wrote about three stubborn myths about Trump’s support – and why America has experienced a de-alignment rather than a rightward realignment.

Voters tonight said fuck this fascist shit. With Mamdani, they showed incredible courage to believe in change and a better future.
The work doesn’t end here, but everything begins with courage and if we are going to get out of this mess it’s going to take courage to believe in better.
