incredible how white men are given the benefit of the doubt when anything coming from marginalized groups are treated with utmost suspicion and distorted beyond recognition

Good news: there's no durable majority for fascism
Bad news: we are locked in a life or death struggle against fascism and our victory depends on people with less understanding of how the world functions than my 14-month old

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...

A very nasty bit of slight-of-hand is that they now completely ignore the actual question of "security" or "enforcement" and have adopted fully the Trump/Vance grievances about TPS and asylum. The narrative isn't about the border anymore or "legality", it's about undesirable racial populations.
really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement
Not going to read them all because jesus fucking christ but this is nasty work from Friedersdorf

I really appreciate Bluesky proving my thesis correct
I knew AOC had a real shot at being the next President the moment she was subjected to her own “we want a woman, just not her” discourse.

Folks, no one needs to understand Rod Dreher's worldview.
Rod Dreher has fueled some of the more apocalyptic currents on the Trumpist right. Robert F. Worth spoke with the writer to understand his worldview:
Rod Dreher Thinks the Enlightenment Was a Mistake
The influential author derides secularism and the modern world. Conservatives—including the vice president—are joining him on a march back to the Middle Ages.

I’ll never forget seeing Dreher on Morning Joe a few years ago, in an interview for his book. When Scarborough (and a couple of other white panelists) asked him questions, he was fine. But when Eddie Glaude jumped in, his body language and tone shifted dramatically; his contempt for EG was blatant.
