The reason for this is that this class of people has internalized the idea of conservatives as the American Volk, an idea downstream of the senate and EC giving them more power than their numbers that has somehow become a quasi spiritual belief about the nature of the country

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely:
1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.

WTF is wrong with the NY Times. I checked it online just now--late Sunday afternoon--to see what it had to say about yesterday's protests vis-a-vis Trump's Soviet-style birthday military parade. It's as if it were still Saturday morning--anticipating the protests rather than reviewing them.

This seems to be the correct answer. The dads idolize men like Trump and the sons follow their dads. We are looking for a “crisis” among young men but i think its actually middle aged men who have gone insane because many of us never really grew up bsky.app/profile/maxk...
Yes. A big part of why so many young men are turning to destructive, amoral, misogynistic, bigoted, selfish, self-absorbed, blame-everyone-else ideologies is because that's what their dads believe in.

Out of roughly 153 million votes cast in this election, the presidency was decided by 230k across the three states of Wisconsin (30k), Michigan (80k) and Pennsylvania (120k). That's 00.15%.
This remains an extremely closely divided nation. Any agenda viewed as extreme is likely to face backlash.
