Speaking from the heart not the head: the former have had off-ramps for a decade now and voted for a proven rapist & insurrectionist; least for the Trump supporters I interact with, there's no redemption arc, they're too fully committed.

Case in point: ICE are beginning to lose their housing in St. Paul hotels.

They can militarize their forces all they like, but the outcome of military conflict is determined by logistics, and if the entire population opposes them, they will be helpless.

Make ICE self-deport from the Twin Cities!

Even the 47% number sounds way inflated

Omg Danya that's awful!!!

When corrections officers murdered Robert Brooks, they assumed they'd get clean away with it bc bodycams were in standby mode & fortuitously they were still feeding video to a server. Not a point in favor of them but it shows how even with body cams, the COs felt emboldened to beat a man to death.

Weber's concept of charismatic domination also gives me confidence that Trumpism will die with Trump.

This reminds me of one of the earliest sociological texts on domination.

Weber wrote that violence is a form of illegitimate domination, which makes it inherently weak and unstable. Whenever someone resorts to violence, it’s an indicator that they are losing control.

While I appreciate the nod to Nikola, a different name would help the product immensely. Having to explain to journalists, investors & potential customers that the suit has nothing to do with Elon or cars must get exhausting.
