1) For me to win, someone else has to lose; and,
2) If someone capitulates to my demands, I can still get more.

It feels like society is cracking open and we’re going to be asked to make serious, meaningful changes by our circumstances and we will have a leadership class actively trained for decades to avoid the topic altogether

The emotional register that makes Trumpism work with many voters is very similar to the kayfabe that animates professional wrestling fandom. People can keep it somewhat at arms length because they know it's absurd and unserious, but also they can be intensely emotionally invested in it.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

In the absence of local news--much of the country is now a news desert--every story becomes nationalized. Trans rights isn't about your neighbor's kid you've known their whole life; it's a debate on Fox. Migrants aren't that family at your church, they're an "issue." Guess which side this favors?

I don't really know what the right strategy is here, but I know that when you have spent the last year saying the man is a threat to democracy who will destroy the country, you can't just hand over power smiling and shaking hands and expect voters to trust you or your party ever again.
absolutely nothing was normal about trump's presidential campaign and yet biden and the centrists cannot help but cling to norms. this gives democrats nothing to hold onto for the next four years. it's modeling acquiescence.
