We talking about PRAXIS. Not a theory. Not the theory that I go out there and die for, get into every Internet argument like it’s my last. We talking about PRAXIS. How silly is that?

Yeah, no doubt. Just wondering if he himself is at least truther-curious and is hedging because he thinks it’s bad politics to admit it or he isn’t but doesn’t want to lose fans by saying so. Neither is exactly complimentary.

heads i win, tails you lose: trump and RFK jr’s supporters both already know they believe insane conspiracies, so there’s no need to discuss what believing insane conspiracies says about their mental fitness to lead, but biden voters can be persuaded that biden may be unfit, therefore, biden old

2 of the top 3 candidates for the US presidency have shown a repeated willingness to believe any conspiracy dangled in front of them like a set of keys, including wildly anti-american ones, which are straightforward cognitive deficiencies for what we should demand in a president. neither are biden.

I’m genuinely unsure about the subtext of this straddle, whether Lesser RFK is saying “of course I think America did 9/11 but I can’t say so out loud” or “I know America didn’t do 9/11 but I have to find a way to sound like I’m open to it to keep my nutcases onside” and I’m afraid to find out

…and he was well-regarded by lots of students, even by my then-girlfriend who was and is a left-wing feminist Arab-American who has spent her career working for indigent clients. I spent the entire run up to the Kav confirmation screaming “I WOULDN’T LET S— HAVE A LIFETIME SEAT ARE YOU NUTS!”

When I was growing up, our neighbor across the street was an important figure in the creation of the Federalist Society. He was a gracious, intelligent, funny man, who did in fact drive the neighborhood kids to softball. I have friends who went to the law school where he was a prof…

Imagine if an inexplicably wealthy 11 year old boy had just learned to draw the “cool S” and then assembled a team of engineers and told them “you have an essentially unlimited budget to make this into a car somehow.” That’s the feeling you get when you first spot a Cybertruck in the wild.

I mean, they can’t very well come out and say “our candidate has a big-boy crush on tariffs because he can set them without having to deal with Congress and also he doesn’t believe they get passed on to consumers because he managed to get a degree from Wharton without learning how trade works.”

“Disagree as much as you like about the issues, but prejudice, bullying, name-calling, threats of violence and obvious lies are forbidden” are excellent ground rules for a debate in theory but what to do if prejudice, bullying, name-calling, threats of violence and obvious lies are a party platform?

His *campaign* was full of dorks with 1488 usernames who were too Online to remember that regular people are turned off by white-power shit unless you make it fun. And DeSantis is slightly less fun than an emergency root canal.

DeSantis’s support was primarily normies who hoped that a record of Trump sycophancy and a few cruel stunts would trick the MAGA guys into voting for a Republican with suits that fit and a clear understanding of object permanence and table manners

All I’ve ever really wanted was to cultivate just enough of a reputation as a dispenser of enigmatic wisdom that I could say things like “You know, when you think about it, every movie is either HOWARD’S END or BLADE” and have people momentarily wonder if actually they’re the ones who are crazy

Every bit of daily newspaper expert commentary on political news boils down to “this is how I reckon that someone who does not know and barely cares about the substance of anything is reacting to this.” I mean, I’m not so Pollyannish as to think that Biden’s performance was good, but sheesh
