Why do this?

Oh, don't do this with him. Again.

Point taken.

I’m really irritated by how much more I am starting to like Gavin Newsom because he is the only person apparently in the entire Democratic Party willing to kick Republicans in the crotch at will.

You would almost think that would have to be a deepfake video because surely no one could be that dense.

Sort of hard to know what to take from that. ?Moderating only helps a little" is one way to say it but "Moderating helps, even if only a little" would be another way.

I'm assuming the tweet is in jest - I really like Pete Buttigieg but I think there's a zero percent chance he's the Democratic nominee in 2028

I've lived a privileged life as a straight white Christian male. I was young during Vietnam, so the major events I've lived through would be 9/11 and COVID, with the recession from the housing bubble as a significant speed bump.

I say this to preface a thought I'm having: I don't think my trump-supporting family, friends, and acquaintances are Nazis, but what if they are ok with or if they even kinda sorta like fascism-lite? It has been so long since our country has faced a serious fascist threat. Maybe WWII is too far removed to be relevant to today's voters. Is trump's version of fascism not a deal breaker? Where does that leave us as a democratic republic?

In jest in the sense the tweet is calling Vance a gay married man with kids.

I don't think there's any question that Trump's version of facism-lite (which I think is better compared to Orbanism in Hungary than anything) is acceptable to many Americans. Of course they would never agree that they're endorsing any sort of authoritarianism - in fact I'm quite sure they see Trump's preferred form of government as being more freedom-heavy than what came before. Which is objectively wrong, but you're likely never going to convince them otherwise. But the bottom line is that for most Americans, as long as the only people being thrown into unmarked vehicles and put in concentration camps are Hispanic and the camps themselves are out of sight, they're not going to be bothered enough to do anything about it. Nor are they going to be bothered by Trump extorting money from universities, law firms, etc, because they have a very limited understanding of what corruption really is and they see those places as more corrupt than Trump.

Of course. Massie is maybe the only conservative left in office who doesn’t really care about Trump. He’s consistent in his own weird libertarian way.

Something he and I have in common, I guess.
