"Project 2025 is born from an impulse as old as America. It's an impulse that says one class of Americans is entitled to lead and the rest of us are lucky to be allowed to serve."
In fact, the impulse is older and irredeemably un-American. It's called feudalism.

“Fool me once”?

Trump is signaling his second term will be more corrupt that his first. He views power more as a means to wealth and criminal immunity. Trump's allies see power itself as their primary goal and money as a perk. Government itself is something to weaponize for both. https://digbysblog.net/2024/05/11/a-vast-criminal-enterprise/

The biggest threat to Christianity is not secular America, says @JohnFugelsang, but fake Christians.
"Antide" Christians are not only a threat to their ostensible faith, but to the democratic republic protecting their right to practice it so badly. https://digbysblog.net/2023/10/22/oh-ye-of-bad-faith/

Biden’s American faith is perhaps out of step with the times, like George Bailey’s struggle to serve the good people of Bedford Falls. But Trump's “great again” feels less like Bedford Falls than Pottersville. Trump's core business, after all, is slumlord.

Trump: They want to keep me here instead of campaigning in Iowa… They want me to be here
*3 minutes later*
Reporter: Will you be back tomorrow?
Trump: Probably not. We’re having a very big professional golf tournament at Doral, so probably not

@npub14cq…k7mw The royalist strain is as persistent in American culture and politics as the paranoid style. Loyalists made up about 20 percent of the population during the Revolution. That figure reflects a similar proportion of those sentiments extant today.
Today, the only thing American about them beside their boasting is their birth certificates.

Let this sink in.
Taylor Swift urging young fans to register and vote, and her dating a football player who advertises light beer and recommends a COVID booster, makes them both pariahs for Republicans.
Vote sanity in 2024.

Former GOP strategist Rick Wilson to "Biden's too old" Democrats: "Not one prominent GOP elected official or talking head spends even 15 seconds talking about Trump’s obesity, his fast-food diet, his roaring mendacity, verbal tics, constant malapropisms, hissing intakes of breath, evident paranoia and fabulism, and raging criminality."

The goal is to repeat unsubstantiated allegations often enough that they are the first impression that comes to mind when people think about the opposing candidate.
Gingrich taught the GOP well. Trump one-upped him.

David Leonhardt analyzes how over the last half-century “our society has abandoned working-class people – of all races – in crucial ways. Their incomes have stagnated, as has their life expectancy. They no longer trust either political party or other institutions. They are frustrated, with good reason.”

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada has been considering a “game plan” for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year’s presidential elections.
Seems as if our northern neighbors are better prepared. We’re still hoping for the best in November 2024.

Russia's firehose of falsehood "seeks to convince people...not to participate, not to care, and not to follow politics at all." The GOP's "flooding the zone with shit" aims "to make paying attention pointless” and "to abandon the idea that the truth is knowable." Donald Trump's goal is not apathy for his believers but a constant state of agitation.

“The real question I wanted to answer was, What do people get out of having a gun?” said Nick Buttrick, a psychologist at University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Why would somebody want to take this really dangerous thing and bring it into their lives?” So devised a study using mild electric shocks, Dr. Peter Venkman-style.
