The right was defined by self loathing pre Trump, it's just that they hated libs more.

I wake up on July 2nd to my alarm. NPR is playing Layla. I have a push alert on my phone from the NYT saying that they're still finding body parts from the Freedom Caucus strewn around like they were attacked by a pack of well trained dogs. God's in his heaven and all is right with the world

The whole point of not having hard rules on what is Official and what is Not is so they can define it for the guys they like vs the guys they don't!

"I was empowered to do X, therefore bribing me is part of an official act you can't get me for"

So you can basically call anything you want an Official Act so long as you say it's part of Article II Section I Clause 8 then? "I was defending the Constitution by droning those orphans"

Feel like there's a pattern here of the Having a Normal One for the center left being to log off/deactivate and the Left to post through it (which results in me having to mute them).

You can tell because the thing with Paul Ryan is that some of the most cynical liberal bastards on the hill in ~2014 were saying "we can at least work with him as he wants to lead," hence where Klein picked it up

Klein sees himself as the dorm mom of the Democratic Coalition, and when he goes from his regular Democrat Pals being Hill Staffers and Think Tankers to Op-Ed writers he shifts accordingly

These are all issues in that I'd like for our politicians to want to do good stuff rather than just avoid bad stuff

I mean, it's always a real problem for politicians in that votes are votes, and also a real problem for interest groups in so much it indicates you should never do anything for these groups positively

I don't think this disproves my point at all! If anything it sounds like a lot of people were probably looking for a reason for their existing dislike and he finally gave them a defensible one

The thing is that he wasn't getting credit beforehand so I'm not sure that's really the meaningful change rather than Gaza giving them a language to agree to use to shout their discontent

They've tried in the past, it just never took off because mostly folks don't want heavy discoverability. I think the Threat Assessment for any potential buyers is that it really is the venue of choice for your young to middle aged far, far right folks

I do think the endgame for Discord was to get bought by Microsoft or Steam or something as they're just not long term sustainable, and there is a real demand for "what if IRC but modern." I just don't think it's profitable as a solo endeavor

Granted Slack has mostly been doing one for one feature expansions (but moderately worse) to Discord to account for this

I think the strongest signal that media elites can send here is a vocal promise that, should Biden step down and Harris loses the election, they will commit seppuku to redeem their dishonor. Tells Biden you're serious and it's not just a vendetta, gets skin in the game.

This is actually worse for C Suites because it makes the marginal effort to go after executives vs just doing civil damage less. Better for shareholders probably though?
