Trump is halfway to making America a police state The president’s refusal to accept a Supreme Court ruling on illegal deportation is a turning point

My God, this is an astonishing read, but I still think now is as good a time as any to upbraid the Trump administration as their fascistic fantasies finally become reality.

I’ve of a habit of insisting that it’s the message, not the messenger, that matters, and that we shouldn’t play identity politics in determining who’s allowed to comment on which topic. But Peter’s take here is something only a Jewish person could write because it’s a powerful internal critique πŸ™πŸΎ

We never had a genuine democracy to start withβ€”the donor class and organized groups representing business interests control our elected officialsβ€”but what semblance we had of it is being dismantled, not merely β€œcontract[ing]”

Agreed but this also needs to be squared with the fact that, in this corrupt system, the Dems need to win elections to be able to thwart Trump, and to win they need money. Small donors are right to be concerned about how that money is spent too. Harris flushed $2 billion down the toilet after all

I was expecting a more substantive critique of your argument rather than a rejection of your background assumption of the ability of two peoples to live in peace. Linfield is, in my view, too pessimistic and doesn’t consider that two states could eventually lead to one binational state down the road

As should be clear by now, β€œdestroy[ing]” ISIS was at best a short-term achievement which complicated the power vacuum in Syria, bringing us to the hellscape we are currently witnessing

You’re forgetting the horrific consequences of our supporting rebel groups against Assad, as well as the black market circulation of American-made weapons throughout Syria. Air power? πŸ˜† Careful what you wish for

We need to stay out of it because it’s too difficult to ascertain which strategy will effect the least evil outcome

This is probably just my ignorance, but might it have something to do with his being a representative in a state that voted for Trump by 13 points?

With their donors fleeing or unable to give them instructions, they’re rudderless

I guess the Dems would have to do this frequently enough that it’s no longer viewed as inappropriate πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

Meanwhile the Dems expect us to believe that there are β€œgood billionaires” (i.e. whichever ones donate to their party)

What, realistically, can they do as an out-of-power party? They made coordinated videos pointing out Trump’s lies about the economy. More town halls?
