I'm not entirely sure how that changes the calculation but I am not sure a shutdown has ever seen a situation like this. It is the nature of authoritarianism: insulated from public opinion because people lie to him and/or he doesn't think it matters.

I'm not happy about what Democrats are doing. But one argument for it is that they are not dealing with a normal negotiating partner but rather someone with no understanding that his position is unpopular and who is willing to inflict pain on ordinary people in order to win.

I mean these guys were throwing intentional balls so that gamblers were being paid on individual pitches. There are millions of interactions every day in pro and college sports. Each one a potential source of corruption.

A good summary of why Cornell's capitulation to authoritarian extortion is an affront to democracy and academic freedom. aaup-cornell.org/2025/11/07/s...

The issue is that we have one party supporting democracy, but everybody hates that party. Democratic leadership needs to recognize this and either reform or step aside. ryandenos.substack.com/p/mamdani-an...

Yes, having grown up in the 1990s when this was the prime dark fantasy of the NRA, this is really something to behold. From a social science perspective, it's another piece of evidence that most of what we call ideology is really just identity politics.
