The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

Anyone who ever publicly uttered “genocide Joe” in the lead up to Election 2024, helped Trump win.
Our 2-party system is far from perfect—but it’s a 2-party system nonetheless.
It’s a zero sum game; hurting one party inherently helps the other.
Calling him “genocide Joe” helped Trump.
Happy now?

Mass Deportation Will Save Renters Less Than $5 a Month
President Trump wants to deport his way to affordability. But immigration can’t explain the housing crisis, and deportation won’t fix it.

80 years ago, the US executed Nazis for killing prisoners of war and survivors of attacks. Who will hold accountable the Nazi sympathizers who are doing the same today?
Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.

This describes rural America much better than urban America, FWIW. There's a ton of stuff wrong with urban America but it doesn't get anywhere close to the all-crushing apathy of the rurals.
This country built itself up after WW2 and then civil rights happened and we decided to just let the whole thing fall apart as we lived in the ruins.

You can devise solutions for individual incentives, for corruption, for power balancing, but if it is the People themselves who are corrupt...you can't fix that.

The core problem is that in a state, something has to be sovereign - in a democracy, it is the people - and you can design and tinker as much as you like but there is no way to design around a loss of virtue in that sovereign entity.
