The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

I stop actively following “big, influential accounts” that announce “blocking campaigns” over insufficient levels of outrage or slightly different takes (this is BlueSky so let’s be real) on various matters.

On Jack Smith deposition, now released:
100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning.
Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print.
What Smith says is far more incriminating.

5 yrs ago next Tuesday, an American president who lost an election but refused to accept the loss incited a violent attempt to overthrow the election.
Instead of being treated like a pariah, that president was actually voted back into the White House, a much bigger condemnation of us than him.

Fun fact: It’s easy to keep premiums low when you only have to insure healthy people.
LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.
HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition
LANKFORD: That's true.

Republicans simply can't believe that's true. It's government insurance, surely everyone hates it! But guess what: People don't want to be "health consumers," they just want secure coverage.
