Feeling my sanity slipping away as more and more (genuinely awful) stories about what Trump said or did accrues. Because:
HE PLOTTED AND ATTEMPTED TO EXECUTE A VIOLENT COUP ON LIVE TV! HE ATTMEPTED TO END THE REPUBLIC! HE'S THE BIGGEST TRAITOR TO THE CONSITUTIONAL ORDER SINCE THE CONFEDERACY!

the reason to vote for Hillary was SCOTUS and the last eight years have proven that correct in fifty foot high glowing letters
this will be true of every presidential election from now until the heat death of the universe or Dems get their shit together on the courts, whichever comes first

Like I know people hated the “think of SCOTUS” arguments in 2016 but like, the 3 picks that happened as a result of 2016 have made life MEASURABLY worse across almost every metric big and small
Supreme court justice candidates: jane johnson, career public defender, or jared jimmerson, spent his formative years hurling slurs on 4chan and its precedessors. Both are 35

the point of saying "we're going to have a bipartisan advisory council" is to create a permission structure for R elites to oppose Trump without being quite as worried they're going to be permanently frozen out of government no matter who wins

and yet it’s never even brought up as a serious option outside of endless pilot programs that all tell us the same thing

one of the reasons I think it is important that Trump loses big is that I want even the monsters pushing this stuff to believe it’s bad tactics
there needs to be a political price for stochastic terrorism and it needs to be high

notably, he is asked if he denounces the bomb threats in springfield, which he pointedly does not. i think this — along with a lot of other things — probably loses them this election, maybe big, but it'll be an incredibly ugly couple of months until we get there.

I do think that the lesson of the pandemic recovery - that high inflation is going to get you much more criticism than high unemployment - is going to be one we deeply regret learning the next time that choice comes along
lot of leftists non explicitly stated their preference is clintonism boost the middle class low inflation fuck the poors
the fact that the Biden economic record was a refutation of austerity and shows a tight labor market leads to high growth is exactly why there was a concerted propaganda campaign in the media against it. many even on the left were happy to play along with it, frustratingly!
