Anyway, now is a good time to re-read this piece from @tompepinsky.bsky.social, which was correct but made lots of folks unhappy at the time in 2017. This is what's coming if Trump wins in 2024, & inside-baseball-ing the 2028 Democratic primary per normal is a waste of time. Eyes on the ball, folks.
Americans have an overly dramatic view what the end of democracy looks like.
This @tompepinsky.bsky.social piece is the Rosetta Stone for understanding what might be next, I can't recommend it enough.
For some of us it could be relatively calm, at least in the short term. But as FEMA is dismantled, ACA provisions undone, the IRA walked back, Medicaid made even more stringent, other regulatory bodies eviscerated—and oh yes, the Comstock Act implemented—the shocks would come fast and hard.
You're too kind, friend. One wishes that essays like this were not necessary to write
