If we’ve learned anything over the last 8+ years, there is no Trump clone.

No disagreement here, just my naive disbelief that anyone can look at that pile of expired lunchmeat and say "I'm on board".

I’m reading Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future right now and maybe I shouldn’t be.

Not the point and you’re right to call this out, but I wonder how many people look/listen to Bannon and say “know what, that’s my guy after all!”

“The Supreme Court wrote that students could discuss race so long as it’s relevant to an experience, such as a time they overcame racial discrimination.“ Is that truly what the ruling said? How is that not prior restraint? Did they quietly narrow the first amendment?

Yup. If the country is so precarious that a single off night for a presidential debate (come on) pushes us into permanent tyranny, then we were already on the wrong side of the knife’s edge. We can’t proceed for decades with any one wrong move spelling doom.

“But Alex Thompson reported in Axios that there’s also unease from some Democrats about the president’s focus on “Jan. 6, political violence, democracy and Donald Trump’s character” given swing voters appear more worried about issues like inflation“ GIMME A BREAK

“Officials have hesitated to deploy vaccines for cows because of trade concerns, experts said: Some countries bar imports of products from vaccinated birds and animals.” Ah yes, of course.

In my darker moments I feel there’s two possibilities: polling is broken or at least overcompensating for 2020/2016, or America has really decided to just kill itself out of boredom.

Agreed, but appearances are largely what we are provided with by the media. I don’t see a lot of coverage of Biden’s fitness routine vs. Trump’s (lol).

He appears more frail than he is because of the foot injury that gives him a bit of a limp. All other evidence points to someone is rare good shape for an octogenarian.

i.e. "Is polling working right now? CAN polling work at all now? Is polling ever predictive?"

It’s a small thing, but naming your company and product “Farcaster” indicates that you either didn’t read to the end of the book or have a very specific end goal in mind. It’s epsilon away from “torment nexus”.

And a competent pollster would wrestle with that, instead of releasing it without those caveats, pretending the margin of error somehow makes up for it, and then bristling when people call them out on the increasingly fraught methdology.

Gas prices ALWAYS go up in the summer driven by demand and refinery formulation changes. America seems to have an object permanence crisis.
