This is one of my writing hacks. I love going through old defunct projects and rediscovering great ideas that are even better fits for this current project.

Isn't the stars around the head a nazi thing? I can't remember.

My hot take is that Rogue One was always bad and Andor made it worse. The whiplash going from such a thoughtfuly written and paced show to the edited-to-death rush job of Rogue One was depressing.

The Right at large depends on a unified message to understand the world. When the narrative has no consistency, it loses power, its sources of truth are discredited, and its members lose cohesion.

I don't think this alone is progress, but I truly believe that these moments compound on each other. The fractures in their coalition are deepened a little more by this stuff.

I think having Trump undermine his own party's messaging is positive. I don't think he's doing it on purpose, but I do believe he is constantly fracturing what was, less than a year ago, a unified party.

Trump is basically a senile idiot baby. If it was Vance or Miller doing this then I would agree. But Trump wears everything so explicitly on his sleeve. Hes a being of pure id.

He's not a master strategist or manipulator. I believe he really is as enraptured by Mamdani as he appears.

I have also had this experience, except I like the suction cup shells. A+ pasta shape in my book.

That's why Biden was such a failure.

It should be EASY to dismantle this guy. He does it to himself.

But the Democrats caved on the most obviously wrong issues, and people rightfully wanted something else.

Trump is, in his own perverted way, very honest about what he wants and believes.

All his lies are just projection and devoid of any attempt to legitimize them outside of brute authoritarianism.

It's irrelevant for people who want to trust him, but glaringly obvious for everyone else.

I've been saying this for a while now.

It is probably true that he thinks that, but I don't think it's necessarily true that he's correct.
