No coincidence that Robinson is using the same "you made us do it" rhetoric as Kevin Roberts--it's a textbook strategy for persuading people to get over their moral scruples and just do it.

This. Key passage: "As someone who would like to keep the American Republic, I would suggest that for the good of the country, all citizens should recognize that Trump’s campaign platform is not merely stupid and illiberal. It is downright un-American."

I don't know what the right answer is, other than to commit ourselves to defeating Trump one way or another. My feelings on who our nom should be are starting to change, but it's above my pay grade. What I do know is that amid the Court's assault on democracy, the media are dangerously failing us.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

I’m not suggesting to change the candidate. If somehow Biden decided to step down, I would support the Democratic nominee whoever it is. Trump has to be defeated. A second Trump term would mean the end of democracy in America.

The point I’m making is that people who want President Biden to stand for re-election and those who want him to step aside have to make common cause and support the Democrat candidate, whoever it is because conscience and defense of democracy demand that Trump be defeated.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

The Circuit Court ruled that Trump is not immune from persecution in Feb 2024. SCOTUS could have just declined to touch that. Instead they waited five months to say "Trump is immune on some things, not others, y'all should figure out which," and it's very clear what they're doing

Sotomayor's dissent is chilling: "When [the president]...orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune."

No matter what, the Biden campaign has every reason to get Kamala Harris out there and showcase her in the best possible light. For Biden to stay in an win they need Americans to be comfortable with her taking over should he not survive his full term. This is a crucial task post-debate.

The story of Election 2024 is obviously “will the villainous Trump return to destroy democracy once and for all?” Almost no one - Republicans included - denies this narrative. But the media’s refusal to participate makes it feel more out of “narrative integrity” than journalistic.
