I've still got my website at kingshirt.biz with a bunch of great (dumb) shirt designs and hopefully more soon if my regular job lets up.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.

This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

Immigration is the most important issue facing your country

Immigration is the 14th most important issue facing you personally

democrats preserving the fillibuster just for trump to direct republicans to get rid of it was for nothing. democrats should have done this day one in the biden administration but their biggest downfall was assuming that political “norms” were restored after biden won

Yes. All the empirics on misinformation indicate that the way to defeat bad ideas is to mock and marginalize them. Constantly declaring "hey the far right isn't so bad" is a terrible strategy both morally and electorally.

Dems should be way more comfortable saying "look at these fucking psychos"

Jake P @jahre.bsky.social · 1d

Progressives really hope, and maybe even believe, that there is some magic thing they can hijack to attract conservative voters.

The focus on this mythical quest is the central reason they lose.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 1d

I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters.

We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

"go to TikTok. See for yourself."

Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on ‘The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake:

“They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"

We're now on ten years of Trump / GOP having no healthcare plan whatsoever. Not even a suggestion of what direction they want to go with it except repealing some overwhelmingly popular elements of Obamacare.

Worth remembering when pundits talk about the importance of nuanced policy messaging.

Are you people fucking kidding me with this shit @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

At the same time, there are legitimate debates about the best ways to feed the needy, how many should qualify and how much they should get. In the 1970s, 1 in 50
Americans received food stamps. Now, 1 in 8 do. On average, these households get $322 a month. Are 42 million Americans really in such danger of suffering malnutrition that the federal government should spend about $100 billion every year

Certainly, many need the help. The American Enterprise Institute's Kevin Corinth estimates that 2.9 million individuals willbe pushed into poverty if SNAP benefits are not paid in November, including 1.1 million children, 1.3 million working-age adults and about 500,000 seniors.
But no one should aspire for large segments of the population to depend on government handouts. The program could certainly be designed better to not discourage work.
Ultimately, the best way to help over the long run is to grow the economy, which leads to job creation and rising wages.
