There was not enough space on the poster for 14 words, but somebody worked hard on the picture layout to convey the same meaning in 4.

The main two camps are: - the big tent opposition to Trumpism
- and horseshoe enablers for Trumpism that are fragmenting any opposition to fascism, Hungary style.
I'll keep lecturing about that.
GOP were the ones that threw people under the bus, they represent majority of voters, not Dems.

Not sure we will learn more about Trump, but we are definitely learning more about Mike Johnson.

One party gave working class healthcare subsidies, lowest historical unemployment, shared economic growth.
The other is a corrupt mafia oligarchy with neonazis and pedophiles suing in court for the right to starve people.
Saying they are the same is a strange choice and led to the return of Trump.

I share some outrage, but let's be careful to not divide the Democratic party over tactics, especially coming from an organization called "Indivisible".
Tactical disagreements exists, in some places a primary might be in order, but in others, a primary is possibly helping switch a seat to GOP.

Are you saying you are:
- for the constitution
- for the american experiment based on "we the people"
- for integrity and honesty in government
- for child safety
- for gov sane enough that we can focus on kitchen
We cannot be FOR those things without also being against the people that oppose them.

Same person that posted "Nightmare on Waltz Street" after Mark and Melissa Hortman were murdered in Minnesota.
Still cannot believe Utah voted for him rather than Evan McMullin. You would think from Romney or Cox that it was a somehow saner state.

In one post, Lee shared a photo of the suspect and captioned it "Nightmare on Waltz Street," an apparent reference to Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.

Indeed.
And also worth mentioning the fact that Trump does not know he was president in 2020 and until jan-21 2021, in charge of FBI, and that Biden at the time had no role in government.

Something you see with both the ACA subsidy fight and the SNAP disputes is that concrete safety net arguments are very unifying for Democrats.

To oppose Trump, a big tent strategy (from Mamdani to Cheney) can win, a small tent strategy will lose. Fascism wins by dividing the opposition like putting Klein and Yglesias in same category than Douthat.

This is 🎯 from Ezra Klein: “It is very hard to separate politics from candidates.”
It’s why candidate recruitment and bench-building is one of the best investments our party needs to make.

I feel 2024 and 2025 results are consistent.
6-7% voters changed their vote when going from
2024: "I have nothing to do with project 2025, pre-covid prices coming"
to 2025: everything bad that's being done.
Good news. More than minimum needed to keep hope/action alive. Still ~45% pro-darkness.

Another dire aspect is the disinfo space.
The level of lies/brainwash Trumpists gets away with keep getting worse.
US democracy is more solid than Germany 1933, but there might be overconfidence about its ability to counter disinformation.
Believing absurdities is/was precursor to atrocities.

The asymmetry with twitter that is always worth pointing:
- Some of the dumb or insulting takes on twitter are coming from GOP leadership/whitehouse or from twitter owners or are amplified by them.
- The bluesky truthers are usually just randos representing themselves (even if acting as a mob).

Congrats on Mamdani for going from 1% to 50% win in a year and:
- Harris did about 80% in NYC.
- Sherrill/Spanberger vibe is more "serious/predictable" than "exciting/fun" and overperformed Harris by something between 5% and 10%, what would have Mamdani obtained there?

Why put in the same category trumpist Douthat, and reliable pro-Democrats/anti-Trump people like Klein/Yglesias?
Should the dividing line in politics be between the progressives and the rest of the country (fascism did/will result), rather than between fascists and the rest (democratic outcomes)?

The surprise is not that Kristol hated dictators abroad then and hates them at home now.
The surprise is how almost every other supposedly freedom lover, states rights hawk, small government advocate, was ready to embrace fascism, corruption, nepotism, brown shirts, and state-controlled press.
