This feels accurate. Anyone who still voted for Trump in 2024 was doing so after he attempted a self-coup. Anything related to norms or the preservation of history couldn’t matter less.
The only thing that can move the needle is them personally getting fucked by his policies. And even then…

checked in on fox news, they are going hard on portraying this as the crazy left blowing a long-overdue "renovation" out of proportion. i think this is best viewed as an elite-radicalizing event rather than something that will materially move his base of support

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

It's not right to say that the White House is changing course and now demolishing the entire East Wing. That was always the plan; it wasn't possible to build this ballroom without tearing it down. It's just that now the Trump administration is admitting that's what they're doing.

The people who are silent over the East Wing demolition at the White House are the same people who get hysterical when we take down a Confederate monument.

Why won’t Speaker Johnson swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva? Because she is the last signature needed to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein files.
This is an active coverup meant to protect powerful people from accountability.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill includes a $39B annual business tax break for millionaires.
For that same amount, we could extend the expiring ACA tax credits for a year — and still have $7B left over.

It doesn’t “resemble” a Nazi symbol. It *is* a Nazi symbol (which he is reportedly to have acknowledged by telling people “This is my Totenkopf”). Worse, it isn’t just any Nazi symbol, it is the one used by the SS officers running the concentration camps.
