The big intellectual vulnerability both Reform and the Conservatives have is that they cannot decide where they want to land on 'governing for their ideology' versus 'governing for their voter base, which is older and therefore at the time of life when it takes up more government spending'.

One problem is that we use the word “debate” to refer to both any sort of reasoned argument between opposed viewpoints and a very specific kind of stylized verbal performance art that is somewhere between useless for & actively hostile to truth or persuasion.
The key empty-headed fatuity to the Ezra Klein approach is that if you engage in a pantomime of "debate" by going places and taking questions, you're still "doing politics right" even if you are calling for people to be deported for speech or stoned for being gay. It's civic society cosplay.
“Charlie Kirk hated me, Charlie Kirk said I should be deported from the US – but obviously what happened to him was horrific, and we all condemn it.”

![On November 18, 2019, Noem released a meth awareness campaign named "Meth. We're on It". The campaign was widely mocked and Noem was criticized for spending $449,000 of public funds while hiring an out-of-state advertising agency from Minnesota to lead the project.[219] She defended the campaign as successful in raising awareness.[220]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreiclrulbwotmiikuza5vssbx43cx3mdkjbelryobwngba46c7hypze@jpeg)

I seem to be of the minority opinion that it's bad for our historical understanding when people use "blood libel" to mean "well-documented exposé reporting on actions committed by the Israeli military."

Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more."
It's always just "be 10% more racist."

One of the things about mass media, particularly social media, is that I think that it solves coordination problems for low social trust people, something they would otherwise struggle with more than higher trust people.
Low social trust people paradoxically trust other low social trust people the most, hence why they’re so easily scammed. Trump is extremely low social trust and therefore the majority of Americans who are low social trust think he’s secretly on their side
Trump's super power is getting his audience to believe only those things that they want to believe and disregarding whatever they don't want to believe. He accomplishes this by speaking gibberish and taking contradictory positions.
