The essential context here is that our leading political media thought they were going to name the Democratic nominee in a month-long reality show where they would be emcees and judges declaring the Will of the People, and they hate Harris for taking that away from them

I keep coming back to Paxton’s definition of fascism.

What Is Fascism?
The moment has come to give fascism a usable short handle, even though we know that it encompasses its subject no better than a snapshot encompasses a person.
Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that the federal government could hold elected officials accountable for corruption

regular reminder bodily autonomy is a “house divided” issue. it is neither politically nor constitutionally tenable to allow each state to determine the legal rights a pregnant person has. www.cnn.com/2024/09/23/h...

super crazy that the “states’ rights” approach to bodily autonomy just so happens to make black women extra vulnerable to the charge that their body is inherently criminal and must be controlled by the violent arm of the state.

Republicans are calling themselves nazis and the media is still going to say they’re simply conservatives

lastly, i find it striking that some of these people are able to watch trump be completely incoherent & then go “well maybe he’ll be a good president.” it’s like the fact that he is a white guy in a suit overrides everything else. (also the fact that they were literal children when he was president)
