This is not a disagreement.

At this point, with the last decade (and particularly the last couple of months) as a resume, their alignment with this president means that we are fundamentally disconnected on what is morally acceptable.

We Don't Need to Agree to Disagree With Trump Supporters. They're Just Wrong.
I often find myself in a now-familiar spot with Trump supporters I know: hopelessly stuck in an unnavigable impasse on our respective paths, unable to find a way forward.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

The words “fascist” and “authoritarian” are used often to describe Donald Trump and his minions, and rightfully so. But what do those terms really mean in practice? Today, Jay Kuo uses the work of Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat to contextualize Trump's brand of fascism.

There is no messaging strategy that can overcome deeply-held prejudice and rising ignorance, and those two factors are the only explanation for a sociopath ike Donald Trump even being the nominee, let alone getting 76 million votes.

No, the Democratic Party Can't "Message Better" to Racism, Misogyny, and Ignorance
In the wake of the election results, one of the most common media postmortems has been the Democratic Party’s supposed failure to reach those Americans who they were unable to persuade over the course...

“I’m 83. When I picked up McDonald’s today, a lady with a Trump sticker couldn’t stop blaring her horn!

I paid for my food then hers. When they told her, she mouthed “thank you.”

Then I pulled up, took my food and hers too. Now she has to go to the start of the line.

Don’t mess with old folks.”

I love the Teslas purchase some time ago, but I love more that I do not have to interact with that other nameless platform full of insane garbage. I had deleted my account quite some time ago.
