Just once I’d time to see one of those frequent New York Times anthropological inquiries into the mind of the MAGA voter just come to the conclusion that they really like the racism.

YOUNG: "I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it – that this represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."

They just didn’t want black people telling them what to do
But when Michelle Obama focused on childhood nutrition, the same people pitched the usual pissy fit going on about the nanny state and you’ll pry my processed goods from my cold, post-coronary, dead hands.

I've been posting about anti-accountability and the power of precedent avoidance for a couple years now.
I don't know a single one of these politicians personally, but I've been on board with this theory for a long time. I think you're absolutely right, HP.

At a certain point you really gotta wonder whether centrist Dems' reluctance to do literally anything that would please the base is because the base wants them to set a precedent that politicians who commit crimes shall be held accountable, and they uh don't wanna, for *reasons*

All but four constituencies in GB support UK membership of the EU. In those four, the most popular option was 'Don't Know' (Ashfield, Clacton, Great Yarmouth and Boston and Skegness).

There is more evidence behind the claim "JD Vance killed the pope" than there is behind the claim that any of the people renditioned to the slave camp in El Salvador are gang members.

Yep.
For all the banter about "not what they sign up for," we somehow haven't seen a single confirmed case of conscientious objection from the nearly 5k soldiers deployed in LA. 🤷
Silence is complicity. And 'just following orders' will not cut it...

"Astonishingly, we found that over a 110-year period, almost without exception, when there was a Republican president who was elected, the murder and suicide rates would double, and whenever there was a Democratic president elected, the murder and suicide rates would halve.”
Sitting here boggled.

Study after study says it: Right-wing policies and rhetoric lead to more homicides and suicides. Why don’t more people know this? Via @thomhartmann.bsky.social in

At the end of Trump’s term, he directed the CIA to send him the materials collected about Russian interference in the 2016 election, information that was classified at the highest possible levels.
He said he was going to declassify and release it.
He did not.
The binder has never been found.

And this has been the theme of the GOP for the past six decades. Nixon, followed by Reagan, followed by Bush with his thinly veiled "Compassionate Conservatism", and Trump's inherently racist populism...a continuum.
Then as now, #OccamsRazor. The simplest explanation is usually correct.
