Yes, Trump is a white nationalist, and yes, Americans elected him to the presidency twice. But Trump is also, for a lot of reasons, rather unique. You run for office saying the things Fuentes does and, outside of the reddest of red districts, you're going to get clobbered.

This seems to be what Morris is getting at.

Perhaps GOP ought to implement policies that support the middle class on the income side. This would be a good political strategy, which of course Trump and by extension the GOP will not do.

IIRC, there's some research showing that the aftermath of inflation still feels like inflation to a lot of folks because they focus on price levels, not rate of change, and have a fairly long memory of previous prices, which takes a lot of time to adjust.

Oh hell no. Shut this deal down. I'm on board with acknowledging reality and making a deal that doesn't make MAGA concede much, but not at a cost like that

Textbook Boomer conservatism though: everything revolves around us but nothing is our fault! How are we supposed to know making Nazis part of the coalition would lead to more Nazis!

A problem of American political parties, more so than in other countries, is the dismissive attitude towards party discipline and the willingness to let individual electeds do what they want rather than follow a party line. Having the Senate leader not endorse a major candidate is a good example

Begala’s criticism of Mamdani’s vote share is so disingenuous! Yes, the candidate facing both Republican and intra-party opposition in a high turnout election did not perform as well as candidates running essentially unopposed in low turnout ones.

It's very hard when one of the 8, Durbin, is the whip. He has to be removed from that position. This is much more tractable and less risky than any other option such as primaries.

No, according to Fetterman, the stroke "liberated" him to share what he always believed, but never had the guts to say.

So it's not the stroke's "fault" - Fetterman was always a POS, he just used to hide it better.

I think its even worse than that. Its "if someone is wearing a nazi armband, but you think theyre pretty cool, you're free to disregard it if they assure you it doesnt ~really~ represent their politics"

The funny thing is he's not even denying that spray painting the swastika is bad, he's just in such denial of the existence of antisemitism at all that he assumes it must be a false flag and demands everyone operate on that same assumption

No he’s not, he was just better at presenting this kind of shit in academic jargon that gave people plausible deniability, because they couldn’t imagine someone normal looking would be Like This.
