We're in a moment when people believe bizarre nonsense to a dizzying breadth & depth, but it hasn't gone truly mainstream in real actions that alter society on a generational level.
The next 20 years will involve a lot of people doing really dumb and deluded stuff, with a lot of lives flushed.

By all means mock Peter Thiel’s hypercringy Financial Times op-ed, but it’s a useful window into the stunted minds of the men who just bought the government, and we need to know what makes them tick before they foist more of their bizarre ideas on us. www.offmessage.net/p/do-not-wel...

Please turn to page 12 of the Dem hymnbook and join me for another round of “We Dare Not Act”
President Biden said that he was considering pre-emptive pardons for people President-elect Trump considered his political enemies. “A little bit of it depends on who he puts in what positions,” Biden told USA Today.

All this plus we’re supposed to believe doing appearances with Cheney swung the election 😂
I’m supposed to have this tribal hatred of Liz Cheney despite her sacrificing her career to fight the one threat I care most about. And I’m supposed to have this tribal loyalty to leftists who continually refusal to do the absolute bare minimum and support a liberal Dem against that threat. Nah.

1) This is just truth.
2) Dems sure as shit better target the tech oligarchs in utterly ruthless ways if/when they regain power. Because we now see that if you propose modest regulatory reform these guys will try to kill you; but if you overtly threaten their businesses, they'll work with you.

don't want to pile on here but the problem is it wasn't a crusade. Dems did a couple modest skirmishes against Big Tech power but did not remotely break it, in fact they all kept getting huge government subsidies

Releasing true information in the public interest is fundamentally just and far more transparent than laundering it through Russian hackers.
Serious test of whether Dem leaders are serious or caught in a hidebound Garland mindset.

this is a case where doj should just release the material anyway. and it will be a grave mistake if they don't. she has no plausible basis for jurisdiction over this.

Anyway I know I’m obsessed with this topic but it seems to kind of break politics if the country can go through this explosion of material affluence that everyone universally loves, and then everyone under 40 immediately decides it’s always been like this and everything was better 40 years ago

At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.
