You can't run on warnings of creeping authoritarianism and then bend yourself toward authoritarianism by embracing the GOP's trans panic. Wrote about this for @vanityfair.com: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/h...

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?
It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

I yet again feel so foolish that I have such deeply-held faith that people are basically good and care about each other.
And yet that faith remains unshakeable, just tempered by frustration at people being generally terrible at understanding consequences. 🫠
