It has always been this easy to manipulate Trump and the fact that fhd dems haven't been playing him like a fiddle since 2016 only further demonstrates their incompetence

Notice Mamdani charmed Trump on live TV without backing down on any stances. He didn't water himself down, he didn't even take back calling Trump a fascist. Moderates would say butter him up, or try to appear more right-wing. Voters can see through that—and evidently so does he!

One of the major advantages the Second World had over the Axis was that it was capable of being altruistic (China's aid to the DPRK, the USSR's aid to NV, Soviet smallpox vaccination programs). The PRC's response to Iran being bombed and Russia's shrug to Assad's fall shows this is not true in 2025.

There was a massive concerted propaganda campaign from the people who control the platforms with the largest audiences in the country to rewrite history and attribute to Trump everything people missed about the pre-Covid world and economy
The baffling part is how many people were giving him the benefit of the doubt in January and now don't approve. They got new information and changed their mind. But he was already president before! How did you not already know he sucks??

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file.
Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.
The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

We unironically should get comfortable with “welcoming to the resistance” people who are otherwise pretty loathsome, and in retrospect the fact that that could even be a punchline shows how much less dire the situation was the first time around.
Securing defections from the authoritarian regime is the centerpiece of any successful pro-democracy resistance.
Politics isn’t fandom—when someone leaves the authoritarian coalition, we should take it as a win.
