the idea that a cultural political phenomenon whose main figureheads are Kid Rock and the ymca song would be popular in 2025 was always an interesting concept
Trump has lost the culture. But what if the universal conventional wisdom—that he won the culture in the first place—was never true? What if our warped media environment, then Trump's victory, created an illusion of MAGA cultural dominance that is now slipping. This is a long one, so strap in.

I’ve Witnessed Trump Weaponize Georgia Ballots for Years. Then He Stole Mine.
The FBI raid of Fulton County’s election hub is just one worrisome incident in a pattern of election interference.
