It's always fun to find out which of the "We. Will. NOT. Vote. Our. Way. Out. Of. Fascism!!!" people actually meant it as: "No, I will SPECIFICALLY make sure that we will NOT vote our way out of fascism, because I enjoy the fascism actually" 🙃

We literally did this. You’ll never guess what happened! The public’s affordability complaints appear literally unaddressable and maybe hallucinatory

"Deplorables" remains an accurate descriptor for Trump and his enablers.

Trump did not run on a concrete affordability platform. If anything Harris focused on the issue far more. I know this has become a thing people say, but it’s a retcon to paper over the uncomfortable reality that 2024 makes no sense according to conventional wisdom about how to win elections.
A lot of the 2024 postmortem brought out how democrats ran on an abstract "democracy" arguments while trump ran on a concrete affordability platform.
Affordability got Trump's party voted in, and it's what's going to get him voted out, and if Ds lean in on it too hard, will get them voted out too.

this is why i prefer the term "the malaise." there is *demonstrably* a malaise. nobody likes The Current Thing™️. but *what* they're mad about? or more precisely, what *caused* them to be mad? that is a much harder question, and one it does not do to presuppose

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

It’s this! It really is this. Your view of housing costs is probably highly inflected by the fact the people you talk to and hear from are looking for housing in high-cost markets and are highly selective about location. This is why using actual data is important.

the thing that gets me into trouble is really the corollary, which is that if people don’t really track how much money they’re spending they’re obviously going to be highly suggestible on the question of whether prices are up or down, and whether they can afford more or less than before
the amount of shit Will Stancil gets for stating the obvious fact that people do not track how much money they’re spending over time and have a ledger in their head of where costs of everyday items are is insane

So they're going to do this for one, maybe two games. It'll be full speed ahead until it's 6 months from release and the game is falling apart, at which point they'll pay an insane overtime rate for a QA studio to do it last minute which won't be enough.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
