one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

My favorite part in the Ken Burns American Revolution series is right at the end when one of the historians says "it's obvious that Thomas Jefferson did not believe that all men are created. But I do"

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

I have described the experience of the last year - watching my spouse and colleagues and friends have their careers and our lives upended - as like being beaten to death with a rubber chicken.
It's absurd the whole time, but I'm still dying over here.

It’s not over but when it is I will never, ever forget the “serious people” who buckled and compromised and abetted the torture and crime and murder for a fascist lottery ticket.
I think the core point is that trump had a honeymoon in which capital/media/political opposition all decided he was the one true voice of america. he did a lot of horrible things with that (including murdering 100s of thousands), but didn't consolidate power...

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.
One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

extremely not excited about how I have spent a lot of time refining a research question about US civ-mil relations, especially with regard to the Guard, in hope of making it a PhD application, just in time for real world testing.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture
