They aren’t marginalized or ‘left behind,’ though they feel excluded. They want to keep their white, Christian, male privilege.
That pretty much sums it up – do I even need to read the article?
Was Will ever a Trump supporter? Somehow I thought he was smarter than that, but I haven’t read an essay of his in decades.
Harris’s policies are misguided on a number of issues, but her main commitment is to strengthening the nuts and bolts of our democracy, so we will still have mechanisms available to challenge those policies and get them to change.
Not only is Trump a thousand times worse than Harris on every bad policy she has, his primary commitment is to destroying the mechanisms of democratic participation, so that there will be no way to hold the powerful to account.
I’ve read many thoughtful articles in TNR; I’m disappointed they would publish this one.
It’s easy to make shit up for people who never consider whether something is plausible as long as it suits their preferred narrative.
Trump said during the debate that
Do Trump supporters actually take all that at face value? I … cannot begin to understand how that is possible, but evidently it is.
Oh, sure, whatever corporate overlords are involved have unfettered access, but they’re unlikely to analyze that data from a public safety perspective. Unhinged players are addicted to their products and no interest in making anything public that could cut into their profits.
There’s nothing quite like not getting laid for fueling a wellspring of easily manipulated misogynist anger
That’s why I want someone to summarize a sanitized version for me … so I have some sort of heads up on the next trend in stochastic terrorism without having to pluck my eyes out.
To me, this is the most interesting bit of the article
They targeted gamers and chatroom users, who they described as the “backbone of the right-wing trends in the US segment of the Internet,” [ … ]
We can kind of keep tabs on X or Facebook, but what goes down in Discord gamer chats is largely out of sight. I wish someone could drag more of this content out into the light of day where we could all see it.
Not disagreeing with your general point, but music production in Linux is not “stuck on LMMS”. Reaper runs natively, and there is plenty more.
It seems to me the term “tech bro” has always had emphasis on the “bro”, as in the type of toxic masculinity that made Gamergate blow up. I have always preferred the term “geek” for myself; now doubly so for its gender neutrality.
Young people need to get enthusiastic to vote; and Hillary didn’t do that for them. Hillary didn’t do that for me-- because she’s best buds with Jamie Dimon and his ilk, and would only be joining a picket line when hell froze over-- but I still got out and made the only realistic vote against Trump because I’m a grownup.
It’s different this time because Democrats are finally being convincing that they’re not aligned with the billionaires, and because we’ve seen what a Trump presidency was actually like now. I think that will get more of the youth vote (with lots of GOTV effort, of course).
The coroner could rule on whether a death is suspicious or not. Like if a brown person dies in custody, the coroner may or may not chock it up to “natural causes” depending on their political leanings.
This is just wild conjecture on my part – I don’t think I get to vote for coroner locally – but I could definitely see that happening.
Did you read the piece? Although they claimed they were chastising him for “hypocrisy”, they never pointed out that cross-dressing is, in fact, ok – and the salacious way they treated it made it clear that the author thought him cross-dressing was scandalous.
Ghod, I hope “Occupy Democrats” doesn’t run with this. They made a big deal out of Josh Hawley’s cross-dressing photos, and I was like “no, that’s one thing that should be totally fine”
I wouldn’t say “not very popular” … it’s more like there’s a non-zero chance that some of his violent, unhinged followers will, upon realizing he’s a fraud and they’ve been duped all this time, turn their violence towards him. It only takes one.
Never heard of “politicsusa.com” before, but now I’m making it a point to never go there.
Our mother grows angry
Retribution will be swift
We squander her soil and suck out her sweet black blood to burn it
We turn money into God and salivate over opportunities to crumple and crinkle our souls for that paper, that gold
Money has spent us
