Virtue-signaling liberals don't understand that preserving liberal, democratic norms requires you to win first. And you don't win by brow-beating average voters.
This maximalist, purest passion leads to things like a whole swath of voters abandoning Kamala in '24. How'd that work out for them?

We're in a kind of kleptocratic stage where different factions are vying for control.
Miller-Bondi are pushing a blatantly authoritarian agenda
But it's not yet a fait accompli and @radiofreetom.bsky.social has done a great job of outlining how counterproductive it is to call this all fascism.

This is just a sanctimonious liberal echo-chamber.
Klein's tone-deaf article after Kirk's assassination was infuriating. But I think he is trying to wrestle with the weight of his platform.
It's not fascism in the truest sense and hyperbole risks obscuring over how dangerous the slide currently is

The challenge is how to maintain the spirit of equal representation when how we live has changed so dramatically. The Senate represents land more than it does people.
A Montanan has a more significant vote than a Californian. Is that what we want?

The danger is that this all slips out of their control into something even the most insane thinkers never wanted.
The Rubio/Graham neocons are in bed with the Hegseth/Johnson/Flynn Christian Nationalists trying to channel the resources of the Technocratic ubermensch Vance/Thiel crowd

Most of the US slide to authoritarianism has been a cargo cult.
It’s kleptocracy and the avarice of the billionaire class that’s allowing this to happen because none of it affects their status quo.
Fully upending western multilateralism is not a paradigm shift most of the enablers are ready for

Realistically, we’re in an absurd timeline.
If the US went full imperial, there’s really no other expeditionary military in the world that could do anything in our sphere of influence. FRA or the UK could threaten to use nuclear power. Unlikely given Ukr precedent. It would be an entirely new era.

PHM is still up 13% YTD which is wild considering the rather substantial headwinds they have. There's a story in here about the irrational exuberance of the overall market over fundamentals.

When you show weakness, you can't assume you're in a stronger negotiating position.

I think you’re ascribing big brain strategy to feckless surrender.
Who is this mythical voter they believe needs to hear exactly the right message to stop us from a side into authoritarian kleptocracy?

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.
