Yes! Rather than chasing Trump's policies, they should chase his strategy of shaping public perception.

"No level of misconduct matters as long as you are a stupid asshole" is a really shocking cheat code to have embedded in your nation's politics.

Neubaustrecke Hannover-Hamburg erst 2063 fertig und „unwirtschaftlich“?
Der Projektbeirat Alpha-E warnt vor massiven Kostensteigerungen bei der Neubaustrecke Hannover-Hamburg. Die Fertigstellung könnte sich um Jahrzehnte verzögern.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Rechenzentren stehen wegen ihrer hohen Stromnachfrage oft im Mittelpunkt. Während sie in den USA zu einer großen Belastung für die Netze und Energiewende werden könnten, werden sie im Rest der Welt nur einen kleineren Anteil am Anstieg der Stromnachfrage ausmachen.

What I mean by "hype being true" is that the models actually *are* able to replace millions of workers - which is the core economic promise that tech oligarchs are making.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
