Trump can't escape his last POTUS tenure and his hard as a rock ceiling. There is a sizeable number of people that simply will not, under any circumstances, vote for Trump. His last win was entirely predicated on people being willing to, "give him a chance." He got his chance. He shit the bed.

In his soft focus profile, Bender does not mention: Vance’s claim that he would have abetted Trump’s attempted coup, support for the racist “Great Replacement Theory” and denigration of immigrants, embrace of authoritarianism, and claim that people in “violent” marriages shouldn’t get divorced./6

IOW it's not a rooted in a "abortion is murder" claim, tho he sometimes adopts the affectations of it for the evangelical base, it's more directly a "white society/people must not be replaced" racism and a "the fundamental role of women is to look after children at home" paternalistic/misogynist one

Most folks won't notice this and the top-line is kinda similar, but perhaps worth calling out anyway: Vance's anti-abortionism is importantly /different/ to most evangelical anti-abortionism, tho the top-line is the same; it's secular white-nationalist rooted, not to a belief in pre-birth rights

From the JD Vance (Senate) campaign website. JD Vance would ban every single woman (or girl) from receiving an abortion, no matter the circumstances by which she was impregnated or the danger to her health. Maybe (just maybe) if she risks imminent death.

I got to talk to Molly Jong-Fast about “Project 2025,” the Right’s radical plans to use government as an authoritarian tool to impose a reactionary vision on America. I know there’s been *a lot* of talk about “Project 2025” lately, but I think we do a good job cutting through the noise:

If you want to know more about “Project 2025,” I wrote a four-part series about the worldview of the people behind it, the policy agenda and detailed plans “Project 2025” has produced, and what this all tells us about today’s radicalizing Right:

I mean, it's like the Trolley Problem, but with the future of the whole planet and the concept of empathy and kindness tied to the tracks on one side, and barrel filled with pus and bile on the other. Neither is something you really want to see, but I know which way I'd pull the lever.

It's been nearly ten years now that you have to think about this dude every day, and he fucking sucks. Just watching the same episode of Mama's Family on every channel for a decade. It is normal to want that to end.

I also think the things that attract people to the institution are wholly different. When you grow up in the Church, a lot of the staying power is about community and ritual. If you’re attracted to it later in life because of esoteric theology, you’re gonna have some weird ideas.

The chair of the Marion County (OR) GOP had a very commendable and appropriate response to the unhinged saber rattling of Ivan Raiklin immediately after Trump was shot. For his trouble he got singled out for harassment by Raiklin. But before we dispense too many kudos....
