A data point to remember re: âpopularismâ is that the popular position on what is happening in Iran and happened in Venezuela is âno war, this is insane, full stopâ and the moderate elected officials we are supposed to like are saying contorted, legalistic, unpopular word salad instead of that.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

States can create citizen militias independent of the National Guard. Iâd like to see governors and state legislators think creatively about that power when it comes to monitoring federal agents operating in their state, particularly if they donât trust police forces to do so.

Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

I find this distraction discourse unhelpful. Trump's video was appalling and significant and should be analyzed and denounced, and part of the work of politics is to turn it into a major controversy in its own right, as a symbol of Trump's autocratic disdain for the people.

At the time, scholars of this topic noted that, in Trump's first term, the independence of institutional media orgs from him went with a surge in trust in the media from Democrats. Major media org's cooption and capitulation in Trump's second term has gone with a drop in Democrats' media trust.

We will fail often. Many people are bad. Many people don't know much. But people looking at much worse, less knowledgeable electorates â people who literally couldn't read or write, who had been intentionally kept from political information â worked to expand democracy anyway to our eternal benefit.
