Das Primärproblem Europas besteht nicht darin, dass #Trump ökonomische Mauern hochzieht – sondern dass er alle politischen Grenzen planiert, für deren Sicherheit die USA als Schutzmacht der Demokratie und freien Handelswege 80 Jahre lang gesorgt haben. #Tauchsieder @wiwo www.wiwo.de/politik/ausl...

We recorded a long conversation earlier for tomorrow’s @isthisdemocracypod.bsky.social about what we learned from the sad spectacle of Trump’s speech: We have a GOP entirely defined by Trumpism - and a Democratic Party in which far too many cling to appeasement and impotent politics-as-usual.
The Democratic Party has a wing of outright collaborationists. Their identity is entirely defined by presenting as in line with the “common sense” - which they believe necessitates showing nothing but disdain for their constituencies and endless deference to Trump.

They deserve nothing but scorn.

Some thoughts from the new episode of Is This Democracy:

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

Trotz Milliarden-Fehlbudgetierung will der BR das Abbauprogramm durchboxen. Grund: Bund habe ein „Ausgabenproblem“, der Staat wachse zu schnell. Falsch! Staatsquote ist seit 25 Jahren stabil. Sagt der Bund selbst!
