I just... even adjusting for how I went into this with strong feelings about how deranged ai evangelists are I was shocked to see "historians" on that list, let alone at number 2.

The thought that the person who made this list probably earns 400,000 dollars a year fills me with despair

I don't know what you were going for here but what you've accomplished is convincing me that Remnick is very stupid

As John Oliver put it, paraphrasing, Trump has backed down from many fights where the opposing party just simply said "Fuck you, make me".

It's only naive if you think "ahh yes they'll wake up and remove him from office straight away".

I think you have to slow the fascists down, you have to make their successes more costly to them; you have to do what you can.

You don't necessarily need to know the path to total victory.

I agree it's of no immediate help. But look at the way Chuck Schumer et al keep capitulating.

I'm sure there are levers that powerful people could pull, were they sufficiently motivated. And it's their job to know exactly what those levers are, not mine.

That's my thinking, I guess.

Presumably the idea is to try to convince those with some power (looking at you, various senators) that it's worth the political risk of confronting him.

Look how far the "border" dips into central Ohio. Like "ice has jurisdiction over Grandpa's Cheese Barn because some illegals might be swimming across lake Erie 100 miles north". Preposterous.
