What’s particularly weird and disturbing is the triple combo of the slightly ironic disengagement you identify, plus Trump’s genuine lunacy, and the new quislings that are simply everywhere obeying in advance! What could go wrong?
like i have been saying, a lot of americans do not treat politics as “real” — they approach it with an ironic distance that allows them to treat clear threats and statements of intent as mere rhetoric. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/u...

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

Speaking as someone who teaches logic and critical thinking, this is an *unbelievably* bad argument (if I'm reading it right). The kindest thing I can say about it is that it's an instance of denying the antecedent – a basic fallacy. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/o...
