This was someone arguing that the WV national guard did sign up for this, even though the deployment is illegal, because it doesn't matter that it's illegal because SCOTUS may come up with some bullshit to bless it (and I guess they should have foreseen they were signing up for that?).
No, I'm quite sure no in the West Virginia national guard signed up to be deployed illegally in Washington, D.C. actually.

It sounds like this guy was one of the people everyone involved in Afghanistan said should be protected, bc going back would be a death sentence.

Yes, Trump dominates among the *white* working class (if defined as people without a college degree). But even here, religion played a key role: In 2024, about 86 percent of non-college white evangelicals voted for Trump – vs. only a minority of the non-evangelical white working class.

Trump does not represent the “will of the people” – a stable majority of Americans, including about two thirds of those who call themselves independents, reject core tenets of the Trumpist agenda. It is the Republican Party that is losing touch with the mainstream of American society.

In 2024, people with high racial resentment scores strongly tended to vote for Donald Trump, regardless of their educational attainment; by contrast, people with low racial resentment scores strongly tended to support Kamala Harris, whether they had a college degree or not.

Put differently: If you look at a group of voters with the same education, their level of racial resentment strongly predicts their vote choice. But in a group of people with the same level of racial resentment, educational attainment does not allow for a strong prediction of their politics.

Part of the problem is people think what persuades them is logic and facts.
In reality, most people's opinions are shaped primarily what they perceive to be the views of the community they're in.
So if you hang out with Nazis all day, it starts to feel "normal."

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.
