Always impressive to see how Trump in 4 years shifted voters’ perception of him from relative moderate in ‘16 to hard right in ‘20. Deeply self-destructive.

Ecuador (pop 17m) has nearly twice as many Venezuelan migrants as the US (pop 331m)
Quote Tweet
We tend to call migrations “crises” when some attempt to cross the southern borders of the US or EU. But most of the world’s 103 million refugees stay in their region—some Venezuelans only tried moving north, starting in 2021, when most legal options became closed or threatening

Some actual data from a large conjoint experiment we did in 2019:
Pro-Israel messaging goes from being the 56th most effective message for the population overall to being the most effective message among Jewish Americans.
Anti-Israel messaging overtakes reparations as worst.

Sometimes you need to look at the big picture: It's been an incredible rebound from the 2020 pandemic recession.
The US has recovered all output lost in the crisis and gotten back on trend.
GDP
2022: +2.1%
2021: +5.9%
2020: -2.8%

Two types of COVID accounts:
1. Every heart condition, ever, is due to the vaccine. Vax is going to kill everyone.
2. We must be vaccinated every 3 mos, w/ N95 masks + Chinese-style lockdowns. To do otherwise is anti-science + eugenics. Everyone I know has long COVID.
