If Jay Jones texted that shit in 2016 would a critical mass of Dems have blanked their ballot and let Miyares win? I think so. But they are furious now. Their new standard is: Make the guy apologize, then vote for him, because fuck it, Republicans would.

as long as Trump is in office all things, good or bad, will be attributed to him. we have to worry about the 'after,' but that can wait
Given last night’s results, I don’t think we have much to fear about the public pinning Trump’s bullshit on Trump. He’s threatening to withhold funds from NYC? Fuck it, let him try. He’s getting blamed for the shutdown. If Dems take Congress in the midterms and he doesn’t sign any bills, it’s on him

it’s probably bad we all decided to go sicko mode on each other, but at least dems are finally allowed to do it too
Rs want it both ways. They want to mock Democrats and excuse whatever Trump says about them. Senators laugh if you ask about Trump's AI posts - he's just trolling, lol!
They also want any crazy or offensive thing *Dems* say to be a horrifying violence-inspiring threat. Can't have both. (2/2)

'Only I can be offended' is a gear that wears out really fast, particularly when you start using the levers of government to try and enforce it.

Every time Trump wins we get a round of takes that this is because American are all Nazis deep down but all the evidence is that Americans are morons who think “crime” is out of control and we just need to take down all the criminals, but don’t want it done to their neighbors.
I continue to believe that the Trump *campaign* successfully convinced quite a lot of people that mass deportations did not mean mass deportations; that it meant targeted enforcement against “the bad guys.”
The problem for the Trump *administration* is that no one believes that anymore.

More broadly, heavily-Latino counties moved far to the right in NJ last year, and back to the left this year:

A best of both worlds moment: Trump taking a fat L from his own lickspittles after already getting tarred with the damage he did from doing the tariffs in the first place.
Gorsuch finally speaks, and oh yeah, he's against Trump. Alito also sounded skeptical, which is surprising to me. Regardless, there will plainly be a lopsided majority to strike down the tariffs.
The government better start working on its Plan B...

Wow if Zohran can do that, maybe I, a fellow Millennial, can also run for office (immediately has emotional breakdown attempting to organize a potluck)

One thing I cannot get over in particular is that there's no sense of proportion. NYC literally had a program where the NYPD was spying on Muslims!
I had some incredibly depressing conversations with older Jews just before the election. One likened Mamdani to Trump lying about Project 2025. They sincerely believe his goal as mayor is to harm Jews.
This is a stunning political realignment--Mamdani lost Jews, Catholics, and Protestants but won by sweeping "Other" and "None."
As a Jewish voter in the 33% I hope my neighbors (literally) in the 63%, who were flooded with dishonest mailers, social media, and texts, will now keep an open mind.

It’s like if they trained the disk horse bot on Chapo clips
The reason 30 Rock succeeds years later while parks and rec has aged like a toilet full of milk, is that 30 Rock doesnt shy away from portraying Liz Lemon as an obvious villian with a victim/hero complex, whereas Leslie Knope was played just a straight hero character, even tho she is a neolib shill

"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture--
which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy

I suspect that the revolt of the bosses element of all this really is explained by: a bunch of upper echelon Americans really didn't like the cultural and workplace changes induced by Woke era, some portion of them were pushed into internet insanity, but most just wanted a shift slightly right....

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Abigail Spanberger wins Virginia governor’s race.

I remember when Dems got their asses handed to them 2 years into Obama’s term and the media went wild blaming the president for the losses.
What happened to Republicans tonight was infinitely worse.
I don’t think for a moment that the media will apply the same standard to Trump but I can dream.
