First 10 minutes of Hot Fuzz: Ha ha, all this police bureaucracy and rules-obsessed professionalism sure does suck!
The rest of Hot Fuzz: Oh wait, this is why policing in a liberal society needs bureaucracy and rules.

What I really fucking love about Hot Fuzz is that it is a rare piece of artwork that unapologetically defends liberal modernity.
A representative of the impartial, uniform rule of law & depersonalized state beings justice to a lawless, backward community run by a wretched clique of local grandees.

The idea that you should expected to be thrilled and delighted with the presidential candidate of a diverse brokerage party competing in a sprawling polity also willfully misunderstands the basic nature of coalition politics. You can't order presidential candidates to order like a bespoke suit

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

“Wants to deport Native Americans” is a laugh line for some people but it’s also one of those cases where it is probably most important and not just a leftist gotcha to remember that that was the historical policy of the U.S. from its founding
He Wants to Deport 100 Million “Third World Savages.” He May Win Statewide Office in Texas.
He calls his opponents “gay” and “retarded,” and he wants to deport 100 million “third world savages.” Naturally, he’s running for railroad commissioner.

it was exactly as much cope as 'America's more robust intervention and managing of the subsequent inflation into the 'soft landing' will spare us the anti-incumbent backlash that's torn down other parties' whoops!
"Americans are to a greater and lesser extent all psychologically traumatized from watching more than a million Americans die from COVID, and explain that general sense of malaise through economic sentiment" has always struck me as a parsimonious explanation.

i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

"People were doing materially better in significant ways but economic sentiment was in the toilet during COVID" really feels like maybe the issue is COVID and not other stuff.

Anti-trans operative/federal prosecutor Bill Essayli escalates a new narrative being pushed by far right accounts nationwide— that teachers unions and other adults of orchestrating student walkouts. Now claims students “being deployed to attack”- dangerous rhetoric designed to criminalize dissent.
