does... every office have a carol? is a carol a universal?

7) LBJ is not an exception; he proves the rule. He was horrible at mass media and he knew it. Everyone knew it. He could only win one national election.

I can wear the same clothes to work that I wore in the late 90s. No one would notice.

If I showed up to work in the late 90s wearing clothes from 1975, I think people would notice.

@indivisible.org seems to be the PAC most serious about this.

I mean, Trump himself hit 34% on J6. But the timing was akin to GWB’s dip at the start of the GFC. Both were soon out of office, so there were no consequences.

I question whether it could ever get there.

4 GOP senators in states below R+10 are up in 2026. Once you start dipping below 33, 32, you see lethal negative coattails. The chamber flips. Thune decides if he can afford to lose 2 or 3 more seats in 2028 and impeachment math gets a whole lot easier.

I don't think the bet is resolved until a GOP House member resigns before January 5, 2026.

my favorite rumor about Amadeus is that it was Peter Shaffer's take on a prolific young upstart, Tom Stoppard

the 2020 RNC was held at the literal fucking White House so maybe we can treat Hatch Act concerns as the fig leaves they are for the foreseeable future

never gets to 27, imo

at 32% you get a GOP senate Panic Caucus. If you face reelection in a state below R+10, you lose with negative coattails like that (Daines-MT, Cornyn-TX, Graham-SC, Collins-ME)

At some point Thune & Barasso see they’re losing the chamber & we approach 67 votes to impeach

Nixon survived for a bit at 24% but 30-32%-ish is an “Oh Shit” zone where we’d start getting a senate Panic Caucus of 2026 GOP reeleects (Cornyn, Daines, Graham)

When negative coattails are that bad you start fearing the general more than the primary and honest-to-god impeachment is on the table

Whenever I think of the final scene, I imagine the compulsion to smoke must’ve been overwhelming.

I guess to be consistent with Stancil’s point: I’m not going to do that. I’ll just assert there are far, far more people like me than people like you.

Question: what percentage of the electorate would you estimate gets their ideas from studying the world?

Subquestion: to which party do you think they disproportionately sort, if at all?
