The lesson over and over is that the more democratic the institution the more willing it is to stand up to Trump

like, i regularly sell myself out in ways i don't care about. but the thing about being part of the hegemonic demographic majority, i actually can't think of any particular policy which is actively in dispute where i _could_ sell myself out in a way i care about.

That’s, like, *the* core (purported) underlying belief of popularism, right? Public opinion as an external, largely unchanging, basically prefigured phenomenon that political actors have essentially no agency or ability to shape?

My mind has been spinning the last few days as multiple crises of journalism converged—the Nuzzi book, Epstein’s emails revealing journalists hid information, Trump berating a reporter with no consequence—and it occurred to me they all stemmed from the same source: elite impunity.
