I'm a dork, and some are, um, "confident," let's say, so I'll explain the joke. It's about how evil understands itself. The evil of Christian nationalism, misogyny & white supremacism is the sick imagination that supposes its identity is not only "good," it's the only "good" permitted.
All my years writing about rightwing movements, I've been insisting "Look, no matter how bad they are, they don't think of themselves as such. It's not like they're sitting around saying, 'Let's do eeeevil.'" Apologies--I was incorrect.

One of the worst things about Missouri is that we continue to run the plays of other failed states.
Work requirements for Medicaid. A sales tax to replace income tax. Abortion bans. School vouchers. Sending tax cuts to the wealthy.
If the governor were a football coach, he would be fired.

Now revoke the contract for the others.
Today, Kansas City took action to protect our community’s priorities. A five-year moratorium on mass detention facilities ensures our focus stays on building businesses, homes, and schools, not large-scale detention centers.

ICE can't even deal with irate middle-aged midwesterners. how does he occupy hundreds, if not thousands, of polling cites and precincts? trump v. illinois clarified that he has no legal authority to unilaterally commandeer national guards, how does he move forward from there?

let's say the president wants to suppress the vote in detroit. assuming a conventional 20 soldiers for every 1000 civilians ration, he would need more than 12,000 ICE agents — more than double the current number of field officers — to occupy detroit and only detroit, a city of 630,000 people
imho people are focusing on the words "cancel the midterms" and saying uh actually a president cannot do that at the expense of what they would actually try to do, ie send troops/ice into liberal cities to suppress the vote
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.
