A cool thing about small towns is that you can pass by the recently ousted school board president on the bread aisle at the grocery store and he has no idea you hate his guts and helped put him out of a job. Ha.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Agree. Which in the current moment disqualifies them from office.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

We can try to deflect, but the issue is not and cannot be that Republicans are evil if Democrats insist upon treating them as negotiating partners. Republicans can only take the blame when our leadership treats them as the problem.
We told them we’d suffer to get away from this regime, to give ourselves a chance to turn this around…and opposition leadership has said they won’t sacrifice anything to help.

Shrewdly played. Republicans are nothing if not easily shamed into doing the right thing just because.
Agree.
Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."
This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

It's so disorienting to have come of age in a news culture where the phrase "liberal media" was so ubiquitous (even among some liberals!) that it essentially became one word, and now be living through a time when the media is more conservative than it has ever been liberal.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.
