Micah: “you keep saying that, come up with a new argument, that one’s old” okay but it hasn’t stopped being true, so

I really cannot overemphasize how serious those of us who say this might be the last meaningful election are this will not be anything like his first term and they are deadly serious about eliminating any possible opposition to their theocracy inside or outside the government

Eliminating the Constitution, as the Founders intended. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump loyalist pushes ‘post-constitutional’ vision for second termwww.washingtonpost.com Russ Vought, the former president’s budget director, is laying the groundwork for a broad expansion of presidential powers.

yeah it's kind of frustrating when the responses are just deriding the dems crying wolf every election because these guys are just out here saying what they're going to do very plainly and it doesn't seem to matter

“you keep saying that, come up with a new argument, that one’s old” okay but it hasn’t stopped being true, so

also feels like the dems are not seizing on this either, like their "most important election" messaging is the same as ever instead of pointing to very specific things like this and there's an air of apathy because they also don't seem to give a shit about unpopular policies or optics. perfect storm

Also, their actions don't match their rhetoric. Supporting Israel seems important enough to them to risk tanking what they say will be the last election if they lose. Why? They're pouring money into police that the next administration will use to enforce their agenda. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Dems could take advantage of negative partisanship to make full-throated, maximalist appeals for their supposed principles and ideal progressive policies — if they actually wanted those things But the Democratic Party and it’s politicians do *not* want those things They want you to think they do.

They do talk about it on social media. Biden HQ talks about it at least once a month. Among all the other stuff.

That’s nice, but what does the intersection of the Venn diagram of “people who are involved in Project 2025” and “people who spent the Trump admin remorselessly, openly doing crimes and haven’t been prosecuted for it”?

There’s a lot of “the boy who cried wolf” in Democratic fundraising, especially since at the same time they keep emphasizing the importance of bipartisanship when they are actually legislating Their messaging is shit

It's because the Dems aren't all that different.

but they are talking about it, and when they do these folks just say "give us a better argument" so... anyway I'm going to vote on my way out this country cause the polls look like it's time for everyone who can flee should

yup. i'm sure to many non-engaged citizens it sounds crazy to suggest that the dems have to win every presidential election for the foreseeable future or we lose our democracy, and it really sucks, but that's where we're at... and we got here by *not taking shit seriously enough* for too long.

America's punditocracy: more wrong than your weatherman with less consequences for it.
