If there is one thing politicians have learned over the past few years, it’s that Americans…(checks notes)…love inflation???

“It is not clear how Mr. Trump would go about weakening the dollar. His Treasury Department could try to sell dollars to buy foreign currency or try to persuade the Federal Reserve to just print more dollars.”

Trump-Vance Administration Could Herald New Era for Dollarwww.nytimes.com Both candidates on the Republican ticket have argued that the U.S. currency should be weaker to support American exports.

they want and need everyone to believe that it is hopeless and that nothing matters and that nothing will ever get better, but, like, they’re wrong. they’re liars. they lie, depression lies, this whole thing is a fucking con to get you to think that submission is better than liberty.

these people cannot win and they know it, their entire schtick is pretending that the reich on the march will keep everyone quiet and scared, but, again, we do not have to believe them, and if we do not, they lose.

I’m reminded of Arther Bremer, George Wallace’s attempted assassin, who had like zero political motivation and simply wanted to create notoriety for himself

I have my students read part of a speech from a eugenicist in c. 1905, and the similarities are uncanny.

Says a lot that framing of McCarthy as a “righteous crusader” is not even the most ridiculous thing in That speech.

This reads not just like fascism, but like the ethno-nationalism of the late 19th/early 20th century that underpinned neocolonialism, eugenics, etc…
