rich people yoinking stuff and thinking they earned it is a constant of nature. trump thinks he can bully people into giving him a Nobel. people who think prompting AI makes them an artist. losers who cry when people tell them stealing the trophy isn't the same as winning the trophy.

A progressive Democrat flipped a staunchly Republican seat in *Iowa*— won it by 10 points, in fact— by running *As A Progressive* focusing on issues of education, and making housing, child care, and health care affordable. Stop running to the right. Stay left, and fight.

This is part of it; it’s a display of a kind of wealth. But it’s also meant to intimidate. Every old Trumpist dude I know from home who has this kind of arsenal talks a big game about what’s gonna happen the second somebody messes with him but is quietly terrified of anything new he encounters…

There is only one way to make children safe: Fascism, right? They keep repeating the same reruns. It's a rerun cult. Except every accusation is an admission... So it's a rerun vampire cult.

"Third Way" sounds like a fashy euphemism. As if Democrats could win if only they could embrace the toxic authoritarian culture... Clinton Democrats are obsolete. That's why they can't win.
