the through line of everyone from Sarah Kendzior to Brian Beutler to Elias Isquith is that they've all decided that "being right" feels better than "being happy"

I continue to believe it’s a performance for would-be republican sources than an actual lack of understanding on their part fwiw, if they as an institution wanted to collapse trump they could

“the youth vote for trump looks better in 2024 than 2020” and “the average young voter who turned 18 since 2020 was in middle school the last time half of the bad trump stories came out” are the same story

political reporters simultaneously think they’re learning something for the first time every day and that their audience has their entire body of work committed to memory permanently, depending on the issue/story

Maybe not Michael personally but he was very much part of a loud clique in 2016 that resented having to stop this and it probably helped convince a non-trivial number of people that they didn’t need to

you literally based your entire wedding around a donald trump themed in-joke, you turned the biggest moment of your life into a stupid meme, it’s literally the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen someone be proud of in my life

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

people definitely talked about this at the time but it was underrated as a consequence that those elections were like a Terminator came back from the late 2020s to wipe out the future of the party

some of this is an institutional problem but a lot of it is also that the 2010 and 2014 midterms left a generational hole that is acutely felt now because of all of the would-be leaders that never got their foot in the door
