Important to remember risks to democracy are complex - for instance, state-level backsliding can be aided or accelerated by what happens at the federal level

it's a cursed combination of a decision that is a) potentially extremely consequential, but b) nobody knows what the right answer is, plus c) the vast majority of the people worrying about it have no control over what will happen. recipe for madness
i think the thing that is leading me to check out of the biden conversation as much as possible is the sheer amount of certainty being expressed. i am not at all confident that i really know anything here!

Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

The most chilling thing about this era isn't the growing number of explicit fascists, it's the way elite institutions refuse to even attempt to stop them.

thinking about that shithead republican rep in missouri who went on an impassioned screed about how the government should stay out of people's lives, regarding a bill attempting to ban child marriage
on the same day he voted yes to a bill banning trans healthcare for minors

the fact that we saw the largest vaccine rollout in history, like 10 billion doses administered, there were almost no serious side effects, and the result was a large increase in anti-vaccine paranoia is proof of the power of propaganda
If there is anything that really gnaws at me it’s the realization that a lot of people are going to fight hard against any kind of public health measure including vaccination even for a disease that might have a fatality rate as high as 30-50%. Hope we don’t find out

Hard for opinion leaders to hold all these ideas in their head:
1) U.S. history has often been as bad as you can imagine.
2) Things are a lot better than they were yet we still have big problems.
3) Things could get much better or much worse in the future. Nothing is set in stone. It's in our hands.

trump has revealed and benefits from the decadence of american political culture, in which so many people simply do not believe that there could ever be a fundamental change for the negative in our political arrangements, and act accordingly
