I think when Trump survived "Grab 'em by the pussy," he crossed a threshold that blew a lot of journalists' minds. Ever since, his antics could be covered basically as entertainment, but journalism about him, in the sense of informing the public, seemed pointless.

If you mean me, sorry, I wasn't directing/attributing any of that to you, just venting in general terms. I know you're not doing what I was complaining about.

I thought I was pretty clear that the part really bothering me was everyone just accepting and normalizing Trump's multifarious unfitnesses, which are worse by whole orders of magnitude, and also include age-related decline.

I feel like I'm losing my mind in all this. It's like if, in the HALLOWEEN universe, Dr. Loomis was running against Michael Myers, and Loomis was getting pressured to drop out for being old, but Myers wasn't getting any pressure at all for being a serial mass murderer.

A lot of liberals & progressives have MAGA fascist enablers among their family & friends. Now is the time to get confrontational about that, all the way to the point of estrangement. They need to feel the harsh social cost of being bullied, shamed, and shunned for that.

This is literally the time when a difference can be made. If you wait to canvass on election day, you'll be stepping onto porches saturated with door-knockers from various campaigns. It will seem worthless and demoralizing. Start now, though, and get people registered to vote, etc.

Is it really so much in everyone's personal short-term interests to make the absolute worst long-term decisions in this moment?

I sure hope Hakeem Jeffries didn't give him permission/approval to put that out there due to the lean of his seat or whatever. Some consequences certainly seem to be in order. I've cut friends and family out of my life for being "okay" with Trump.

Norms are unbreakable rules for Dems, and laws are suggestions Republicans disregard whenever they hold enough power to get away with it.

If you're still on good terms with Trump-supporting family or friends, what are you waiting for to happen before you'll impose a social cost by cutting them out of your life? Are you going to brush human soot off your sleeve on your way to Thanksgiving, if it comes to that?

It's the same bullshit reason he's skated on everything since "Grab 'em by the pussy!" Fear of a boomerang effect that will activate his Herrenvolk. Everyone with a voice or platform needs to call him the piece of shit that he is, including white liberals to the MAGAts in their lives.

1/6 was the last straw where I cut my MAGA parents & brother out of my life, not because they participated but because they still supported him. "Trump is a piece of shit and so is everyone who supports him," I told them. Why allow someone like that in your life?

Is there any formal definition of "crime against humanity" that *wouldn't* apply to his COVID "response"? He *explicitly* directed malign negligence toward blue states because they didn't vote for him. "Genocide by pandemic" might not be quite the correct term, but that was clearly his intention.

It's infuriating to think you could probably go to any point in Trump's life since he attained legal adulthood and with just a little scrutiny catch him in some criminality.

I can almost imagine Trump telling her he'd "bump" Alito, sort of like how Colbert offered to "bump" Frank Rich for W at that White House Correspondents Dinner, but for real.

One theory I hold is that a lot of people correctly perceive Republicans to be the party of wealthy/corporate interests, and incorrectly interpret that as them being "good on the economy."

How much do you think Musk's obsession with a humanoid-form robot and the investors pouring money into this is simply rooted in hatred and loathing for actual human workers and labor?

Once you've turned "Democracy dies in darkness" into a nihilistic punchline, that calls for a little more introspection than just rebranding with a new slogan.
