One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

Yet if someone suggests that he can survive with $999 million, that is “jealousy”
Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard.
I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence

There will be many studies of his evangelical supporters living vicariously through his craven immorality, reveling in behavior they would never exhibit themselves but secretly adore.

An underrated factor in how we got ourselves into this mess is that Americans are increasingly relying on computers and the internet instead of their own critical thinking faculties (AI is making this even worse), and as a result are uninformed and easy to manipulate.

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

legitimately our best case scenario for the next four years is that Trump gets pushback, backs down and declares victory
the more times that happens the better for everyone

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity
Trump: Trade war!
Colombia: OK
Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights
Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?
