Fascism is always a con job. >>
Part of the con job of Trump and his band of weirdos is this Big Bad Wolf /Bond villain shtick that I have no patience for indulging. They are very bad and are absolutely going to try to do awful and cruel things. But they are not evil geniuses and a lot of them are genuinely idiots.

For years I’ve watched feminists try and raise awareness about the unrestricted mass influence of incel culture, Andrew Tate, and reactionary misogynistic rhetoric. And now some Dems are saying the problem is identifying “toxic masculinity” too much. I actually think it’s the opposite!

oh yeah also, the fact that people form their beliefs by watching other people is why it's actually really effective to call things stupid. because most people aren't interested in being right, they're interested in not being perceived as dumb or different. like liberals should just call trump dumb
honestly liberals would improve their understanding of politics like 1000% if they'd just relinquish the idea that people mostly get their beliefs from observing the world around them and replace it with the idea that people mostly copy their beliefs from their friends (real or imagined)

The Supreme Court says it would be perfectly legal for Trump to send the military to drone strike a peaceful protest.
People are hoping to be a lot more familiar with the term "imperial boomerang" in the coming years, I fear.

I'm reading Steve Vladeck's substack about the Court:"As a result, standing up to Trump in 2025 and 2026 is going to be a lot harder than it was in 2019 and 2020."
Just so everyone is clear, the Supreme Court is not going to stand up to Trump. They are and have been in bed with him.

One thing I've decided is that I will of course be paying attention to laws and battles where I can take action for the next four years, but I am not going back to letting this man's every twitch dominate my thoughts.

We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat.
Some of those stories may even be true!
But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇

Then I realized that millions of Americans would do that work for free and switched to studying white supremacist extremism.
