is it because they fired people's coworkers and replaced those lifelong experts in the field with an extremely stupid guessing machine so the bosses could pocket 100% of the salaries they're no longer paying while asking the remaining workers to pick up the slack and clean up after the AI's mistakes
"Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout."

JD Vance is particularly odious to me because we’re roughly the same age and from the same part of Ohio and I grew up with a hundred pasty, squishy faced white dudes like him & they’re all convinced they’re marginalized because you can’t smoke at Waffle House or say the n-word anymore

It does remain startling to me how the response to the attempt on Pelosi’s husband (which was directed at her) was largely met with a shrug.
Also, remember the attempt to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer? Which Biden *pointedly* brought up last night in Detroit?

My skeet about 1970s assassination attempts has a lot of "they were desensitized to political violence then, unlike now" replies.
And that doesn't really ring true to me. Giffords, Pelosi's husband, January 6—we've had a lot of political violence in recent years without trans-partisan uproar.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.
This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.
tom nichols—of all people???—just made a good point: you have to talk about P2025 in simple real people terms. not policy wonk terms.
