In February, Austrian white nationalist Martin Sellner, who popularized the term "remigration," went on a fellow white nationalist's podcast & said he was "very happy" that Trump had invoked the term during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Like every Dem, I have endless gripes about Dem messaging, but we have a genuine, longstanding problem of people literally not believing what Republicans are doing. They don't even believe what Republicans say they'll do!
This is also why a lot of people have trouble parsing the stuff Musk or whoever is doing to the federal government
"Why would you do this? It only hurts people, with no conceivable benefit to anyone!" yes that's why, they like hurting people as an end in itself

the biggest difference between the GOP of, like, 20+ years ago and now is that 20+ years ago, it was the party of "we do evil things because we want to believe untrue things" and now it is the party of "we do evil things because we know they are evil, and we like it"

CALIFORNIA WATER UPDATE: The Army Corps knew the water wouldn’t reach LA—but they followed Trump’s orders and dumped it anyway.
He wasted billions of gallons for a photo op. Hope farmers don’t ask where their precious water went when they need it this summer—the clown they voted for sabotaged them.

What we’re done is create a massive information infrastructure which privileges conspiracy theories, demagoguery, bigotry, lies, and hysteria - much larger than the traditional news infrastructure. It’s the main information source for many.
And then new political movements evolved to exploit it.

The interesting thing is that lots of people think of the GOP advantage in the Senate comes from small red states (North Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska, etc.). But Ds also have their share of small states.
The real GOP advantage comes from the dominance of medium to large southern states.
