When Trump tweeted out what became the transgender military ban with a 17-minute gap between tweets, I was on the phone with someone on the JCS. During the lag, we debated if we'd feel it if he nuked North Korea.

“The project is also heavily promoted by MAGA-connected media figures” including white nationalist jailbird Steve Bannon, “who has called it the ‘blueprint’ for Trump's second term on his War Room podcast.”

True. There are multiple things going on at once & many folks involved aren't seeing this at all, which only makes their actions more chaotic & for many, self-defeating.

Worse. No clue that THEY might be part of the problem. These are the folks who've repeatedly failed to invest strategically where hardworking unpaid/underpaid activists have been begging for help. They've let crucial state parties wither, not even considered building grassroots media, etc, etc, etc

2012 was particularly egregious. Project REDMAP delivered gerrymanders in 7 swing states that were near 50/50 but gave GOP a 2-1 advantage. Mother Jones spotted this immediately, but political scientists wallowed in denial, said it was just rural vs. urban geography.

At best it lasted from 1965-2000. Even then we had widespread gerrymandering, Senate malapportionment, unequal voting access, Jim Crow ex-felon voting bans, etc. 7 of 12 elections since 2000 have seen Republicans win one or more of the presidency, Senate, or House despite fewer votes than Democrats

In fact, if you take Trump's word for it, he's clearly the weakest executive this country has ever had, with now-countless examples of "stupid" and "terrible" people doing things on his authority that he had "no idea" were happening and "completely disagreed" with.

It’s important to defeat Republicans so thoroughly they have to tear the party down and rebuild it. It’s good to have two (or more) viable parties, but neither of them can be violent, eliminationist, authoritarian cults of personality.

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 means the discourse on Project 2025 is having an effect. Every media outlet should hammer this. Biden ads and other Democrat ads should flash highlights from Project 2025 with scary voice-overs.

yeah, it wasn't quite as advertised. but it's also true that scientists studying politics is a larger set. political scientists really HAVE dragged their feet re redistricting, which is why Wang's work has been so important AND drawn scurrilous attacks.

When justices: a) give plaintiffs >> they're asking for. b) fail to settle issues, but instead create more. c) ignore specifics of case before them. this should not distract from: d) rewrite the Constitution to make the President a King.
