Jeff McMahon: The overconfidence itself is part of the pathology of entitlement

if there's anything that gives me a slight scrap of hope it's that these guys are *way* too confident. constantly blurting out hideously unpopular shit is not the sensible thing to do before a probable coin flip election

The overconfidence itself is part of the pathology of entitlement

the OG fascists were like this too. got so used to pushing around feckless liberal wimps that they convinced themselves they couldn't lose, until, ah whoops, turns out,

You don’t want to minimize it but it is wild that that this bald little salamander thinks he’s gonna control a country of 330 million people

And the people who have mini-armories in their garages are implying the 'left' are the violent ones? Or is he saying we need to just let them have their way or they'll USE those armories? Hard to tell.

I agree - the aura of inevitability is what they're after here.

not all of us are Michael Kinsley
