If you have no skill or desire for hard work, you can make up the difference with luck, but there is no amount of hard work that can make up for just never getting a chance

"Where Nixon had to contend with a Supreme Court that rejected his claim of absolute immunity and a Congress that stood ready to impeach him, the other branches of govt these days have no interest in reining in Trump. He can do a Watergate every week safe in the knowledge that no one will stop him."

there was a large enough pro-life Dem caucus in the House that it almost sank Obamacare! basically all of them lost their seats in the Tea Party wave, and we’ve only seen congressional races get more nationalized since then shitty policy stances aren’t enough to win over these voters

tim taylor: we all know that gender is a performance, al al: i don't think so, tim. that's a common misreading of butlerian theory, which refers to the linguistic "performative act," e.g. naming a ship. however, the symbolic interactionist school does understand everyday life as dramaturgy

In short, force them to try to rule by naked force because they *do not* have enough force and the very nakedness of it will mean they have less and less. The Civil Rights movement overcame far more with far less, if we had a fraction of their courage, we'll win.

There's a fun fantasy Republicans participate in where the basically-global polarization on education is just downstream of university professors being really good at indoctrination. Are econ professors all Dems because they're pinkos or because Republicans keep coming up with dumb econ policies?

The cowardice is such a galling element of it all. You ever meet someone who'll say the worst stuff about you - you should be banned from public life, you're a danger to children just by existing - and then shake your hand and smile, as if you should be glad he thinks you're one of the good ones?

Violence should not be used against free speech, is the refrain. So explain why they use ICE to violently detain any immigrant for speaking and steal them off the streets in front of their children. The Republican Party has openly embraced violence against speech.
