more to the point none of the coverage seems to note this fairly remarkable fact, especially amid all the talk of unity or whatever

The pre-Trump GOP has been memory-holed

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump does not erase the crimes that Trump himself has committed against American democracy, or the crimes he would commit if given the chance, and no one is obligated to pretend otherwise www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I think the phenomenon I've really seen is how many regular people had the reaction of wishing a former president had had his brains blown out on live TV. Not freaks or radicals, someone's mom.

I think it should be obvious that trying to tank his numbers to strengthen 2) is counterproductive both to persuading Biden and to the greater goal of electing a Democrat. I do not see a way around this. So, if you do not want President Trump and President-In-Waiting Vance, get on board.

the core problems with Biden Must Go are: 1) there is no plausible mechanism to make it happen except by persuading Biden himself that his exit is necessary 2) the polling arguments to persuade Biden are weak 3) the medical arguments to persuade Biden are not visible but apparently weak also

Aileen Cannon is a good example of how Project 2025 would work. You put a barely qualified fascist in every government position that matters and BINGO. Fash times in the USA!

(the reason it thinks that is that July polling is not especially predictive in a close race.)

Reminder for no particular reason that no one knows how this election will turn out, no one can foresee how an event today will impact voters’ choices four months from now, and it is still incumbent on all of us to fight fascism and not acquiesce to doom.

Pelosi's Twitter account put out a generous expression of sympathy for Trump this evening, and the top comments are all people mocking the attack on her husband

Seen a lot of comments like “hey Americans who support democracy, oppose political violence, and value truth, we have to take the temperature down,” and while well-intentioned, I don’t think it’ll work, because they’re not the ones raising the temperature.

Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

Political violence always benefits authoritarians because liberals will always condemn it and authoritarians, regardless of whether they are perpetrators or victims, will always use it to claim more power.

The case against Biden increasingly isn’t “he’s senile” or “he’s old” or “he can’t do the job.” It’s just “he’s behind in the polls.” Dems are unwilling to try to win an election rather than predict its outcome, so faced with bad polls, they think the solution is give up and change horses.

Team Biden has just circulated excerpts of his speech tonight in Detroit, and folks, he is making Project 2025 a campaign centerpiece.

Tired: Biden must drop out because he's lagging in the polls Wired: Biden is only lagging in the polls because of the drumbeat of calls for him to drop out Inspired: Biden is gaining in the polls because this is the first time all year the press has given any coverage to anything Dems say
