I love doing "ugh, if only we had more populism in this broken country and could channel it like Trump" the day he's surrendering Ukraine to an authoritarian petrostate

i think you could get ryan grim to vote for one of those bunny shadows you make with your hand on the wall for your kid
the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

the most likely result of anything that happens is nothing. if you are worried that zohran found common ground with trump or thrilled that trump is going to "help" you should turn off your phone.
but if you are in line to tell a show tunes joke or post a meme of marx with laser eyes, stay in line.

also, “politics is bottom/top not left/right” might work as a slogan but is shit as analysis. who is the bottom? who is the top? who constitutes an “elite” and who belongs to “the people?” these are important questions that have to be answered.

If Jay Jones texted that shit in 2016 would a critical mass of Dems have blanked their ballot and let Miyares win? I think so. But they are furious now. Their new standard is: Make the guy apologize, then vote for him, because fuck it, Republicans would.

as long as Trump is in office all things, good or bad, will be attributed to him. we have to worry about the 'after,' but that can wait
Given last night’s results, I don’t think we have much to fear about the public pinning Trump’s bullshit on Trump. He’s threatening to withhold funds from NYC? Fuck it, let him try. He’s getting blamed for the shutdown. If Dems take Congress in the midterms and he doesn’t sign any bills, it’s on him

it’s probably bad we all decided to go sicko mode on each other, but at least dems are finally allowed to do it too
Rs want it both ways. They want to mock Democrats and excuse whatever Trump says about them. Senators laugh if you ask about Trump's AI posts - he's just trolling, lol!
They also want any crazy or offensive thing *Dems* say to be a horrifying violence-inspiring threat. Can't have both. (2/2)

'Only I can be offended' is a gear that wears out really fast, particularly when you start using the levers of government to try and enforce it.

Every time Trump wins we get a round of takes that this is because American are all Nazis deep down but all the evidence is that Americans are morons who think “crime” is out of control and we just need to take down all the criminals, but don’t want it done to their neighbors.
I continue to believe that the Trump *campaign* successfully convinced quite a lot of people that mass deportations did not mean mass deportations; that it meant targeted enforcement against “the bad guys.”
The problem for the Trump *administration* is that no one believes that anymore.

A best of both worlds moment: Trump taking a fat L from his own lickspittles after already getting tarred with the damage he did from doing the tariffs in the first place.
Gorsuch finally speaks, and oh yeah, he's against Trump. Alito also sounded skeptical, which is surprising to me. Regardless, there will plainly be a lopsided majority to strike down the tariffs.
The government better start working on its Plan B...

One thing I cannot get over in particular is that there's no sense of proportion. NYC literally had a program where the NYPD was spying on Muslims!
I had some incredibly depressing conversations with older Jews just before the election. One likened Mamdani to Trump lying about Project 2025. They sincerely believe his goal as mayor is to harm Jews.
This is a stunning political realignment--Mamdani lost Jews, Catholics, and Protestants but won by sweeping "Other" and "None."
As a Jewish voter in the 33% I hope my neighbors (literally) in the 63%, who were flooded with dishonest mailers, social media, and texts, will now keep an open mind.

The reason 30 Rock succeeds years later while parks and rec has aged like a toilet full of milk, is that 30 Rock doesnt shy away from portraying Liz Lemon as an obvious villian with a victim/hero complex, whereas Leslie Knope was played just a straight hero character, even tho she is a neolib shill
