"No one's feelings are wrong." When thinkpieces drop accusing Democrats of not believing in anything, this is what they mean. You pay lip service to the existential crisis, but from the outside, it seems like each new step toward authoritarian hell is just another day at the office for you all.
No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

I’m so critical of this because I’m a white man who places a lot of value in thoughtfully arriving at conclusions, so I see the evil in me. I’m begging you all, don’t ever cancel me, I don’t want to turn to the dark side. Chuck me down whatever big tube that was in the Death Star if it happens.
It’s a cliche at this point. Utterly inevitable for a Certain Type of Person (self-proclaimed “rationalist,” usually white, usually male, conventionally successful and unable to cope with the mere idea of losing a foothold in popular culture)

I hope the future dissection of the US’s descent into authoritarianism gives due space to spectacularly fragile egotists being unable to hack it on social media.

Resign it then and leave thine insolence.
Since thou wert king—as who is king but thou?—
The commonwealth hath daily run to wrack,
The Dauphin hath prevail’d beyond the seas,
And all the peers and nobles of the realm
Have been as bondmen to thy sovereignty.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.
I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

People on SNAP are starving and people on ACA who cannot afford insurance will suffer and die but what keeps coming up on Morning Joe? Air travel. First-world problems always trump -- pun intended -- poor people's problems.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

Imagine you were promised a package that translated to a billion dollars per year for 1,000 years, and your most recent achievements were a truck that falls apart, space rockets that explode, and illegal mismanagement of critical government infrastructure. And the media writes about you like this.

This counts as a solution in a political system that apparently has no mechanism to legislate that insurance companies simply suck less money.
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."
