Amazing how Carney’s olan to grow the economy includes getting rid of tons of stable middle class jobs that keep essential services going. So less services, and less employment.
Up to 24,000 public sector jobs being cut now. All "bloat" and "waste" (unlike private sector jobs making weapons, presumably), according to Carney fans who a) said he wouldn't cut the public service, but b) will rationalize anything and everything he does.

Also, every establishment Dem who said illegal immigration was a problem during the Biden admin has some culpability for where we are now.
In a nutshell, the Dem lodestar should be: "ICE is bad, and immigration is good"
My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

One of the things language like this does is conveys the way that leftism is seen as feminized in america. Leftists are called “hysterical,” told we “throw tantrums,” and “are shrill and unreasonable.”
This is the language of cultural misogyny, used to denigrate and silence women.

This is—ironically enough—what I am talking about.
RW voters who demand their bigotries be accommodated are never "radical" or "throwing a tantrum." No—those are "swing voters" to pursue, even as they fail to show up time & again. The goal here isn't a bigger tent, but to prevent movement leftward.
