      The whole "Okay but Trump is *culturally* working-class" thing is pure "identity politics" It is identity politics in its worst, stupidest, emptiest, most vicious form It cannot somehow be defeated by writing an even better policy platform

      when people say "trump is culturally working class" what they mean is "trump is a cruel racist misogynist bully, and these are qualities i project onto the working class"

      Yeah, which is a fun way to dodge the actual issue; racism and misogyny are popular, and drive Trump's support regardless of everything else.

      With high turnout, this isn't a case of Democrats being uninspired or whatever; the actual issue is that there's too much enthusiasm for Trump specifically. Biden's not struggling because of indifference.

      The big comforting lie of the past four years is that Trump just kind of snuck into office while no one was paying attention but if America hadn't been asleep at the wheel we would've stopped him That he isn't actually popular and that MAGAs are just a paper tiger

      This has obviously never really been true, but it's something people would prefer to believe because it makes everything so much easier -- it makes "resistance" into a battle and not a war

      This is why I despise the narrative "Trump was a historically weak candidate, and Hillary was even weaker" -- the whole smug assurance that anyone who was even a tiny bit stronger and more authentic and more credible than Hillary could've wiped the floor with Trump

      No Trump is a mixed bag -- he's certainly politically weak in a lot of ways his allies wish he weren't -- but his weaknesses are also his strengths In terms of winning the national election, both times, he had very, very powerful advantages

      America's appetite for full-on fascism rather than any diluted formulation has never been greater And the people saying "Nobody REALLY wants fascism, that's just what they settle for when you don't give them real socialism!" sound just as desperate as the KPD did in the 1920s

      It's almost transcended even fascism into just the raw, tribal warfare. Like, even the ideological aspects have melted down into grievances and identity-affiliations.

      Trump's final speeches before the elections were just long rambling rants about his personal feuds with other famous people he hates And his fans LIKE THAT about him

          I remember when he first ranted about making it easier to sue newspapers that hurt his feelings and thought “why would the average voter care about that?” But they do. They want to weaken the first Amendment because the press hurts a racist billionaire’s feelings.

          Seriously. Most of it's not even government-adjacent, like NFL players speaking out, or like, their safety policies. I'm wondering even if fascism is the right framework, which isn't to say whatever THIS is, is any better.
