No!!

Two beliefs that are absurd:

Democrats are the reason Republicans have to act like assholes.
and
If only Democrats could communicate more effectively, people wouldn’t succumb to Republicans fear-mongering.

That tracks.
What surprises me is Galloway is surprised.

When people say there’s a difference between real and online life. For young R men, I’m not sure that’s true.

Imagine a female president telling the country that she started a war with Iran based on her feelings...

You forgot that he’s also the only one dumb enough to want to work in this administration.

Trump is unpredictable, but I’m making one:

Trump gets rid of Bondi and replaces her with Ken Paxton.

Actually pretty good for Fox News … only missing piece is the Saudi’s goading him as well.

Too many who should know better are backing this war. It wouldn't be happening if a) Trump were a remotely serious president who knew the risks of embarking on something whose aims he still can't specify, and b) Netanyahu wasn't embracing regional chaos as his get out of jail free card.

Very true, but as Jan 6 demonstrates, neither Trump nor MAGA will fade away.

They will rage violently against the dying of their light.

We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States.

In my view, that’s almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

Look around. The case for more, not less, liberal arts education is stronger than ever.

After asserting MAGA loyalty….

Defending Texas against those who want to implement β€œSharia Law” is the lead issue among Republican primary candidates, hands down.

Let’s presume for a minute that Justice Thomas’s assertion that β€œmoney is speech”

Then society MUST address income inequality if it wants to also include in its narrative that β€œall men are created equal”

It’s a political question, not just an economic one.

Clearly some rich folks griped about this and Trump immediately fixed it. Would be cool if some rich folks griped about...I dunno...detention camps and Americans getting shot and killed by rogue masked agents who are violently disappearing people across the country.

He said that because he believes it.

Politicians get in trouble when they say what they really mean.

Great write-up.
You mention a follow-up on other economist’s sympathies toward socialistic principles, but might I suggest another line of inquiry: the corrupting influence of Milton Friedman.
Conservative overreaction to great society programs is still infecting discourse today.

Having been in the home improvement business, this chart will NEVER approach the early 2000s again without an underlying driver, and, some good old middle class optimism.

The underlying driver in early 2000s was easy home-equity lending… remember Greenspan?

I have been here in TX only 6 years, but I have been to all 254 counties.

There are a lot of wackos here, but I do think J Talarico juuuuust might do it. 🀞🏻

It’s an off year cycle, and, the Rio Grande Valley is uncomfortable with strong DHS response and the detention centers here in TX

Really?
Just too much work.
One card with 2% cash back on all purchases and never think about it again. I fly 6 times a year on Delta and full flight/free bags is like clockwork.

Spend the cognitive surplus elsewhere, like college football.

I just gotta say that the most influential American of the 20th century came from a religious background and motivation.

Thank God (figuratively πŸ˜‰?, literally 🧐?) for MLK

I am not saying a politician’s faith matters, but the essence of good politics is a strong moral center.

Character matters ‼️

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
