I don’t think is necessarily true there would be more Black Republicans if the Republican Party in the Deep South wasn’t Hitler-ed out
If white people in Mississippi voted like the average white American, it would be a deep blue state
there’s some truth in this, but the gap between deep red and blue states isn’t explained by voter suppression alone. the white populations in deep red states vote republican at very high rates. both things are load-bearing.

I hope you all are starting to arm yourself with CPB’s greatest fear: Whistles

Someone sees CPB, the blow their whistle, vulnerable people know to hide. I hope that takes off around Charlotte like it did around Chicago.

Freemasons?!
"Nekrasova has made controversial statements in the past. In a 2023 New Yorker story, she was quoted as saying, “Francis is not the real Pope, we all know it. … You’re not gonna get rid of the Freemasons. You’re not gonna get rid of the Jews. They infiltrated the Church a long time ago.”"

Radical Centrists: “Fuck that, I’m getting paid, motherfucker”
to take, and a product of people in the media getting involved in these fights.
Back when the Dems competed everywhere, the party kept much of the fight from spilling over into a daily public drumbeat of "the party has moved too far left." It's frankly naive to think that doesn't have impacts. 2/2

Gotta Ygelsias harder. Turn the Yglesias up to 11
What is truly pathetic about Labour is that this is all they have got. They have failed so spectacularly already, despite a whacking great majority, to even attempt to govern positively that all they have is punching down on marginalised groups and saying "oh but Reform will be worse".
