How is this not the "pundits fallacy" Morris spent last year debunking?
I stand by my belief that Trump was elected because people want to see "blood and helpless tears" as Mark Ames put it. They will adopt and defend any "policy" that keeps the show running and their friends cry-laugh-emojiing.

I will repeat: It is not obvious, based on the data, that campaigning on the economy in Nov would be significantly more effective than campaigning on immigration. Gov. policy is dramatically out of step with the public on immigration/deportations, and executive overreach is a potent motivator

Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

No?

Looks like some think tank has decided leaking "opinions" connecting Mamdani to the Uyghur genocide will undercut his support and make it harder for other cities to follow suit.

Leaving out the christian fascism, I am absolutely stunned that these clowns think a one-time payment of $2500 "under 30 bonus" would convince anyone to get married sooner if they didn't already want to. And a $5k wedding grant seems like a hilarious perverse incentive to remarry often.
The Heritage Foundation is urging the Trump administration to fund church-run “marriage bootcamps,” with cash bonuses for heterosexual marriage and penalties for nontraditional families, extending Project 2025 beyond government and into Americans’ private lives.

Yes Canada is very large and would be impossible to occupy militarily and yes, the US is a big target for insurgent tactics. What this misses, though, is the extent to which modern "warfare" has become essentially serial assassination, with all other operations just maximizing collateral damage.
"Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack. So the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare…"
Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion
Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

What frightens me most here is the dismissal of this guy that he "wouldn't last 2 seconds"
Every civil war has begun by underestimating the other side and assuming that even armed and angry they would be ineffective at fighting back.

One thing about living in Alaska is that at least once every few weeks you get jump-scared awake by an innocuous message from an east coast friend who forgot time zones are a thing.
