It is also delusional thinking.
You think flattery is going to keep that man on your side in the long run?

Good luck.

There is perverse thinking, and a step below that is thinking that a president that is illegally sending US military units into US cities should be awarded the Nobel Peace prize.

I think this is hugely important. I have done a lot of research on religion and politics for my book (about 🇬🇧) and I cannot overstate the difference between the pundits and politicians who talk aggressively
about "cultural Christianity“ and the people you meet when you actually go to church.

"People who attend church or identify with a Christian tradition are not systematically more (or less) nativist, authoritarian or populist than their secular counterparts. Conversely, people who hold nativist and authoritarian views are often also Islamophobes, and vice versa." 👏 @kai-arzheimer.com

Islamophobia in Western Europe is not driven by religiosity

Are Christians more likely to be Islamophobic than other citizens in Europe? New research finds European Islamophobia has no link to a person’s religiosity.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee's decision to honour someone who has tirelessly campaigned against dictatorship is both worthwhile and welcome, and objectively very funny.

“She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

The Nobel Committee underscores exactly why an aspiring dictator like Trump cannot win.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado.

The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

Ja, det er også en måde at reagere på. Det er interessant - på den ene side vil vi sige at højresiden som vi kender den siden 1980'erne, har sejret ("nyliberalisme" etc). På den anden side er den brudt sammen og er retningsløs. Meget mærkelig situation.

Danmark er lidt tricky, for 2022 var ikke et specielt imponerende valg for det radikale højre - splittet i NB, DF og DD, men V valgte træk b).

2026 kan blive anderledes.

Skal man i det tilfælde a) alliere sig med højreradikale og -ekstreme (se: Sverige) eller med b) socialdemokrater (se: Tyskland)?

Og hvad er den langsigtede liberale og konservative strategi? >

Kristol peger på et problem som borgerligt-liberale og -konservative står overfor: Den dominerende kraft på højre side er pt. hverken liberal eller konservativ, men højreradikal, hvis ikke -ekstrem. >

Key take-away: Political communication by mainstream parties plays a central role in the electoral success of the far right. When mainstream parties adopt far-right issues, they help to disseminate far-right ideas and legitimise them.

Tanke efter hurtig gennemlæsning af åbningstalen - vi skal helt hen til allersidst, før der kommer noget positivt i talen (bølleblåfuglen). Ellers på linje med Danish Carnage-talen med angst, trusler og ødelæggelse fra 2019

Nu mener regeringen jo at en dansk ordbog er overflødig, men dansk har nogle nuancer som engelsk ikke har. Der er fx bryde sammen, bryde ned og styrte sammen som på engelsk bare bliver lagt sammen i "collapse" (kollapse - som nu er et yndlingsord for journalister

Jeg synes, at vi alle skal (gen)lære et postsovjetisk ord:

Det er er slangudtryk for pro-Kreml-propagandister.

I får brug for det, når svage sjæle og bots slutter sig til den russiske propaganda og bombarderer sociale medier med det.

Inden vi dømmer Lars Løkke ude, kan det være værd at se på denne figur med målingerne og valgresultatet fra 2022. Selvfølgelig har M nu en track record (og det vil være en god ide med et bedre kandidatfelt), men der kan ske ting i en valgkamp
