We talk a lot about how our strategies don't defeat terrorism, and they generally don't. But we don't talk enough about how terrorism doesn't work either. It wins nothing, it just hurts poor people and ends the way it begins: a violent death.

Also to the extent Trump voters are self-deluded about the policies they’re voting for, I don’t expect that delusion to dissipate in the face of events even as things spiral well beyond 2017–21

In a hypothetical proportional system I bet the MAGA Party would get about 33% of the US national vote (Extrapolated from Trump’s current poll numbers modulated by the number of Republicans who recently said they wish he’d go away) bsky.app/profile/saba...
