Part of the problem we’re having now is that so many people know so little about how their government actually functions on a day-to-day basis apart from the big bells and whistles

Emotional reasoning. Other factors but emotional reasoning is when you hate something because it makes you feel bad and you love something because it makes you feel good. QED.

Just wait they’re going to get even more feverish, whether or not Trump is seriously ill or not. Their time in power may be running out a lot sooner than they expected.

Did he make that/have it made for him or is it a repost of something he found or sent to him? Not cool either way, but it makes a difference.

I have an inside track to a retired (2024) three star who says most of the officer corps however conservative, hawkish, trans phobic almost none of them talk MAGA or will admit to being MAGA. Enlisted maybe more but nowhere near a majority even definable as conservative old style
Will White (@googlyelmo.bsky.social) reply parent
You ever get the feeling you’re back in middle school when you criticize Trump to MAGA purists? “ I know you are, but what am I?” And then they maintain that they leveled that critique first. Jung’s “shadow self” at work

www.foxnews.com/video/637738... Here’s Stephen Miller advocating the use of EO 13224 (issued 2 weeks after 9/11) to declare the WHOLE Democratic Party, its leaders, state parties, sitting DEM members of both houses of Congress, and even voters registered (D) as “terrorist organizations”

Even if immunology did work that way, it would take an immunologist medical doctor in order to even *suspect* something enough for a test. GPs and many specialists don’t have the training or the skill to make that call, and they won’t. What other medical fields does RFK think he is competent in?
Will White (@googlyelmo.bsky.social) reply parent
You bring up an idea I had forgotten that is who and where were MAGA before Trump? Not which political leaders or rabble-rousing media voices, but a more exact demographic and backstory? Could it be that without Trump whatever “coalition” he has we’ll drift apart?

More than three years to go, and every likelihood that any large outbreak of infectious disease turns into a pandemic again. Some people (GOP and Trump supporters) never learn. . .
Will White (@googlyelmo.bsky.social) reply parent
Look at Cuomo in the NYC Mayor’s race and the rest of the party establishment. Actively trying to keep Mamdani from the job. Exactly opposite what all Democrats and people not under GOP/MAGA sway ought to do. If the Democrats are to blame for anything its not opposing Trump harder and earlier
Will White (@googlyelmo.bsky.social) reply parent
I wonder if RFK Jr. watched “House”? Like taking legal advice from “Law & Order” most people know not to take medical advice either from any TV show.

My idle “ I hope not” thought today: maybe we need a crisis like the pandemic again. Maybe we need that to fast forward to where Trump is taking us in order to shake people up enough that they’re self/preservation instinct resurfaces?
Will White (@googlyelmo.bsky.social) reply parent
RFK Jr fell into the trap, probably around the time he got clean of drugs, of paranoid quackery. And also well-intentioned but deeply flawed ideas from people in the environmental movement in the 1980s. Add the virality of nonsense on the Internet and here we are.

Boy, did the Democratic Party miss a chance when it failed to stand behind Bernie Sanders in 2016. I don’t have to say what a difference that would have made.

Please, your majesty do not host or attend any Donald Trump centered dinner party or other celebration. Doing so would in bold in him further, if you can imagine that.

Of all the resistance/opposition, podcasting voices, Marc actually does real heavy, lifting IRL. Love BTC HCR Bob Reich, Rick Wilson, and of course Rachel and their work is important. Marc takes up that gauntlet and slaps MAGA right back! Quiet hero.

Wouldn’t it be a delicious irony better than all the schadenfreude in the world, if Elias and the next administration where to set us on a course, not only to restore (and granted there will be some things that are truly lost) but to expand and secure democracy and rule of law?

Just looked closely and yes, that map does contain the town of Oberlin and Oberlin College, which, at least at one time was probably the most ultraliberal school in the country. But IIRC that was the student body and faculty. The town was pretty conservative, but that district elected Sherrod Brown.

I wrote “the hard part” because that requires the consensus in 50 states which as far as I know has never yet been achieved in our 250 years

Oh, and one other thought: one way the GOP could win much more frequently, even without the electoral college and gerrymandering would be to change their policies and not be such prostitutes for corporations
Will White (@googlyelmo.bsky.social) reply parent
I have read some very reasonable sounding defenses of GOP gerrymandering as being a hedge against one party rule that one party being the Democratic party. Of course it’s false and a disingenuous argument but in actuality without the electoral college and GOP gerrymandering they would seldom win

I don’t read your snarky Internet code (wwwwaste) so I don’t follow. What I was saying and I believe I said it directly was that tech in the form of disruptive smartphone apps has turned out to be great benefit to people involved in the start up not so much elsewhere. AirBNB one of the worst
Will White (@googlyelmo.bsky.social) reply parent
And with the super majorities thus created amend the constitution, clarify the law, constrain & restrain the power of the Executive, expand the Supreme Court and (here’s the hard part) establish genuinely non-partisan citizen commissions in each of the 50 states redrawing district lines in future.

A rather belated reply to your reply, but I agree that the pandemic has worsened reliance on “faith” healing. Not for nothing that such practices or originate when there was no science or modern medicine nor rational treatment. All part of the move away from consensus that has infected our politics

It’s an open question whether this time next year, Donald Trump will be able to stand in front of camera cameras and articulate anything that made sense even to a six-year-old. That means JD. I think in that moment there will be a shock like a bucket of ice water in a sleeping person’s face
