This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

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

A Republican president once picked Ben Bernanke—a future Nobel laureate—because expertise mattered more than spin. That norm, picking Fed chairs for brains not loyalty, does more to protect your paycheck than any campaign slogan.

There is one striking incoherence in the text: the document is all about America first.
But the very same document lists America’s “network of alliances” & “unmatched softpower” as assets, and speaks about “collective defence”.
If the US does what it describes in the doc, it will lose all that.

Impossible to square this circle.
The doc is all about closing the US, yet it says that “openness” is what differentiates it internationally.
It wants to rebalance markets, criticises globalisation, yet says that “free market capitalism” will “continue to make us the global partner of first choice.”

The values of the United States of America as articulated in this latest National Security Strategy are the same as those of Russia and China. The only difference is blood (race) and soil (geography). Otherwise there's little for anyone to prefer one to the other.
