The right wing imagined this,wrote it down,built power over decades&is implementing an incredibly unpopular&destructive agenda.Every time somebody from center to left tells me what’s not possible it shocks me.Look around. Political imaginaries+ daring+ resources makes the world.For worse or better.

The right runs of destroying civil rights and the new deal.

The left runs on defending those things.

One thing I know about sports, the offense scores alot more points than the defense.

NEW: My colleagues & I analyzed nearly 1.3k hours of footage (>2k videos) from nine wildly popular podcasters and streamers on YouTube to understand how they helped lift Trump to power. Now that he's back in office, the broadcasters are well-positioned to help build support for his political agenda.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
