The Dems breaking through right now are all treating Trump's consolidation of dictatorial power and his subjugation of Blue America as absolutely central facts about our moment.

Zohran highlights that regularly. Trump's threat to nix funding is a case in point.

Matt Yglesias, too.

Gonna tell my kids this is Obrack Ofuane.

Okay, but what was so hard about voting to defund Iron Dome? It’s likely one of the best pieces of leverage the US could hold over Israel to force them to change course away from g*n*cide and get back to the negotiating table. Omar and Tlaib voted for it. And AOC hems and haws about proceduralism.

Why did Tlaib and Omar vote the opposite then? Until funding for the Iron Dome is cut, what incentive does the Israeli state have to change course? Funding their defense is funding their genocide of Palestinians.

Yep. Love watching them gracefully swish like giant pinwheels.

Tax them on the way out.

that said: I think the "it's not fascism unless they're good at it" brand of analysis probably isn't the move
