Already responded to thesis herw but even just from a strategic POV if you lower the standard for acclaim to "opposes the overthrow of democracy" you actually help move the conversation towards people who want to overthrow democracy [contains quote post…

These are usually small businesses, 4-5 staff at a time being paid $11/hour for stressful, skilled labor. The witch-hunts that targeted them in the 80s were genuinely destructive to the landscape for providers generally [contains quote post or other…

I think a lot of people would be perfectly happy with illiberal policies (like the ones MTG continues to support for trans people, immigrants, women, free speech, you name it) as long as they can keep the uniparty, Morning Joe framework of politics they've…

Same playbook used on the genocide in Gaza--throw up a smokescreen of conflicting claims and hairsplitting so the audience is comforted by their own ambivalence to other people's suffering. Every item in this is pointless if you know that torture and rape…

The recent trans rights cases--Skrmetti on health care, the shadow docket passport order, and the pending athletics cases--should be seen in this context, as vehicles for chipping away at the promise of equal protection [contains quote post or other…
