"I’d told him that I wanted to understand his journey from liberal Democrat and environmental activist to MAGA insider and Kennedy-family heretic, on the theory that by examining his odyssey, I might better understand what separates us and help narrow the political divide."
What a pile, Michael.

Thanks for our daily dose of New York arrogance. You have zero idea what lies East of the Hudson.

Another utterly useless exercise in trying to understand fascism, after almost 10 years of useless exercises. Fascism appeals to people. It's not more complicated than that. And there is no middle ground between fascism and democracy. All you can do is beat it, and you do that by standing up to it.

Quinta, do you have any idea how juvenile this frame is?

Finan sort of agrees with the fascists. I mean, he thinks they have a point, right? And the Atlantic prints it.

How can you be this obtuse? The choice is between using the available legal tools to fight authoritarianism, or simply surrendering. It's not a "Sophie's Choice" - there's no choice at all. Surrender is the same as losing the fight. If you fight, you have a chance. How is that not clear?

What a stinking pile. The Floyd unrest responded to a murder by police that we all watched. Jan. 6 responded to a deliberate, self serving lie told by an authoritarian president. The two could not be more different in source and justification. Yet you connect them and suggest equivalence.

Hey, thanks for my daily dose of "not-so-badism," Quinta. I notice you made no mention of Trump's intention to further pack the courts, this time with judges well to the right of FedSoc.
The law is only as good as those interpreting it. Aileen Cannon is the future.
