There it is: A position completely untethered from empirical evidence, as ridiculous analytically as it is dangerous politically, propagated by anti-liberal leftwing intellectuals who are solely animated by their disdain for “the Libs” and have abandoned any regard for accuracy.

Seeing some radical academics decided that yes, they can make common cause with reactionary freaks over hating liberals, the early days of Italian Fascism are making more sense to me.

Everything is just an abstraction to them. True poaster's madness, it is all just hypotheticals to win arguments online. It's also why so many "dirtbag left" types easily switch to conservative bullshit. Top priority: dunking on people they don't like.

As a lib hating leftie loon, it is clear to me that Trump is more dangerous than the fading ghost of Joe Biden. That is why libs need to pull their heads out of their collective butts and replace him with whatever feckless centrist they deem fit. Otherwise, Trump will be president.

I think they’re both equally dangerous, and we should probably set a one-term limit on the presidency. By the way, Corey was born in Nov. 1967, and so he was a month old when 1968 dawned. He’s not a very good historian either. He has a recent piece in the New Yorker, where he even gets Freud wrong.

Even if this were true (which it's not) a "bog-standard republican" is still pretty f'ing BAD! Saying "only" a standard republican at this point is like saying, "it's only a standard case of stage 4 liver cancer"!

The Scooby Doo reveal works both ways. For Republicans, it’s an average blue collar guy but pull off his mask and it’s an evil billionaire. For Democrats, it’s a career politician but pull off his mask and it’s a progressive. The elite pundits simply hate progressive policies.

And Trump is manifestly more infirm than any example they can produce for Biden. They are just desperate to pretend Trump isn't also old and isn't obviously way more decrepit than Biden.

To respond to this db guy: Trump was constrained by some normie gop and advisors. Since then, the gop has culled those normies out of the party and he'll be going into a 2nd term with focused anti-govt loyalists. Trump will not be as constrained this time around.
