a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

The Court ruling today is terrible but expected. I will just gently remind everyone that the election hasn’t happened yet. We shouldn’t assume the worst outcome as a foregone conclusion. That only encourages more apathy than many are already feeling.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

Also too: imagine if every NYT pundit used their valuable space this morning to call on Rs to ditch Trump for being held liable for sexual abuse, for committing 34 felonies, and for lying about literally everything. They could do that! They don't! I wonder why!

This is the greatest threat to our elections. MAGA is trying to destroy our democracy. We all need to do everything we can to stop them.👇

A big thing here is that Biden talks about these things all the time. At some point you have to admit that a lot of supposed politics knowers aren't very aware of what POTUS does and says on a day-to-basis

The same political operatives and media outlets that spent all of 2022 telling you that voters don't care about abortion will spend the rest of 2024 assuring you that Trump's now being a convicted felon doesn't matter either. They were wrong then, and they're wrong now.

If we want Trump’s 34 felony convictions to matter in this election, we have to tell voters loudly and repeatedly that it *should* matter in this election. Trump was charged with cheating in order to win the first time. That’s a big fucking deal.

Democrats shouldn't bail them out by agreeing to the very short 15-week ban. Their radicalism brought us this moment, and there's no need to compromise with them to get back to their slightly less awful benchmark. Use the leverage.

The “moderate” conservative / reactionary centrist / anti-“woke” liberal Pundit Hive Mind has basically produced *one* recommendation for Democratic leaders since the end of the Cold War. A whole industry of commentators continually selling elite status anxiety as savvy advice. Go away.

catastrophizing is just minor-key cope and an excuse to withdraw. “Everything is fucked” is as demobilizing and useless as “everything is fine, calm down.”

"what’s animating these efforts are not just ideas or an aggrieved sense of fairness, but burning, passionate contempt for women and minorities. They want to see these people humiliated, re-subordinated, and pushed from high-status roles they believe should be reserved for whites."

The NYT article about the anti-DEI campaign ought to have the second order effect of revealing that the centrist liberals who laundered their gutter racism are themselves mostly small minded idiots motivated by petty bigotries. You don’t need to pretend they have principled objections.

If you're a mainstream outlet and you're being gamed this easily by a guy who is laying out his playbook days or months in advance, maybe the problem isn't the right-wing grifters. Maybe the problem, after all, is the mainstream places that allow themselves to be gamed by carnies.
