Interesting dive into the debate. I'm going to post for anyone who's interested my Twitter thread on what I think is really driving leftist fascism-deniers (term not meant snidely), ie, a particular reading of anti-Trump liberalism, and why I think that reading is wrong. Link: x.com/GregTSargent...

Trump's aura of invincibility has always been strange:

*Impeached twice
*Presided over biggest GOP losses in decades
*Lost reelection after only one term secured in election where he lost popular vote
*Never once had majority support
*Now convicted felon

“I proudly know nothing about the matter, but I will nevertheless weigh in to scold both sides for being so extreme” not only gives you about all you need to know about Friedersdorf - it’s also the pure essence of vacuous, arrogant centrist punditry. A piece of art.

rightthis was the move in north carolina as well. the claim is that state legislatures possess plenary power and are thus unbound by the state constitution. it's a bananas claim that rests on an even more bananas claim that the state legislature somehow predates formation of the constitution.
Ohio is one of the most horribly gerrymandered states out there. The only way it is getting fixed is by ballot measures. But Ohio's Republicans have already, repeatedly, demonstrated they have no interest in following even the state constitution.

There's a frustrating symmetry where the same people who loudly said the Supreme Court wasn't a good reason to vote for Hillary in the general election in 2016 are now saying it's Biden's fault that Roe was overturned because it happened during his Presidency

Trump says he's going after "radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country." That kind of rhetoric has preceded every genocide in history.

Am I saying Trump is planning a genocide? No. But don't be surprised when the brownshirt violence starts.

The former president said that threats from abroad were less concerning than liberal “threats from within” and that he was a “very proud election denier.”

-new Muslim ban
-trade wars
-ban gender-affirming care for kids
-no federal funds for health care providers that support transition

Trump's plans if he returns to the White House include deportation raids, tariffs and mass firings
Donald Trump is already laying a sweeping set of policy goals should he win a second term as president.

Annual shout to one of my favorite lines of arts reporting:

On Nov. 14, 1965, Minneapolis Tribune entertainment columnist Will Jones quoted someone who’d seen a preview cut of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” who said it contained, among other things, “a fierce rock ‘n’ roll dance sequence.”

Just from our Polish experience: PiS was first in power in 2005-07. It was bad, but their coalition fell apart in '07 and they lost power.

They came back 8 years later and this time they were prepared. In the first 2-3 months they took over everything that could stand in their way...

Nothing to see here, just Trump plotting to invoke military rule on Day One and jail his enemies like a Latin American dictator in a big braided hat.

Agree with this, and I'd add that no one knows whether getting thrown in jail would help or hurt Trump politically and we definitely shouldn't believe that the very unpopular Trump is a political genius whose every step is wildly applauded. He's very unpopular!
I keep hearing that Trump wants to get thrown in jail, so the judge definitely shouldn’t do that.

What Trump really wants is to delegitimize the judicial process, and if he can eviscerate the courts by calling their bluff here, he’d love that.

He’s not Br’er Rabbit. He’s a criminal defendant.

This talking point fascinates me. I mean, you want to pay attention to the historical record, let's talk about the historical record of left-liberal splits in the face of a fascist challenge. Or the Revolution in stopping fascism.

A “senior political source” (=Netanyahu) spoke to reporters off record and said that after the war we’ll need to look into whether the reservists’ protest encouraged Hamas.
Gantz immediately called Netanyahu out by name and noted over 100% showed up.

Productivity now appears to be growing at 2.2% year over year for nonfarm output and 2.4% year-over-year for all output.

We rarely see this type of productivity growth outside of recession-induced distortions (when businesses shed labor faster than they shed output)

Multiple things can be true at once:

1. Oct 7th was the worst collective trauma Jews have experienced in our lifetimes

2. The war on Gaza is a horror

3. Antisemitism is rising

4. Islamophobia is rising

Those trying to use one of these to cancel others are making things worse
