    Hot take not even I want to hear: The moral cache of "grassroots" is largely unearned and highly suspect. It shines with the residue of Romanticism and ought to be buffed clean.

    Plenty of people dunking on this, for good reason, but just wanna point out that A. Impeachment is super political B. If Bernie has concerned himself with *electoral* politics, it's because he hasn't done a damn thing in the *political body* he's served in for decades.

    Adam Schiff just paraphrased the passages from Fed. 55 that I highlight in my recent WaPo op-ed: “Republican government presupposes the existence of these [virtuous] qualities [of human nature] in a higher degree than any other form.”

    Lol this isn't a response "I didn't do the bad thing I said I wanted to do because I was in no position to do so."

    It's too bad that it likely won't be Klobs, because we would've gotten to watch as Twitter struggled, badly, in such overwrought ways, to come to grips with voting for a woman who is mean to her staffers over a moral black hole who has waged war on our republican institutions

    People seem to misunderstand what this is about. Promising to impeach Biden is a posthoc attempt to justify their unjustifiable votes to acquit Trump by promising to normalize impeachment as an ordinary partisan tactic.

    the good news is that "maybe getting banned by a piece of legislation Bernie Sanders is responsible for" is about as close to "not going to be banned" as you can get

    5/ Again, we want to think we're good--and most of us probably are, on net, good. And what could be more attractive than a moral "reason" that allows us to attribute *skipping* an *enormously expensive* moral project to our own virtue?

    4/ d) we tell people that, really, we're dying for kids, but...the environment I mean, come on.

    3/ I mean, what's going on is that a) young people are less likely to want kids (particularly when they're young, and posting on Twitter) b) the *reasons* for this don't yet have a lot of moral cache (career, just don't want 'em, etc) c) we want to think we're good

    2/ Like, have you given up air travel? Have you installed solar panels, or whatever? The amount of climate-related *sacrifice* the average twenty-something has endured is...um...probably not significant. Seems a bit strange to go from 0 to 100 in one fell swoop like this.

    good morning here's an unpopular view of mine, because this site needs more negativity I do not believe, even a little bit, people who claim they are foregoing kids to save the planet

    It is precisely Romney's "conservatism"--such as it is--that precludes him from participating in CPAC.

    4/ The despair is only compounded by the fact that, if this is the end of the republic--and I allow (and hope) that it may not, in fact, be--that it was sold for *this* man.

    3/ There's no more to say about.../gestures/...this. I've thought in the last few days to that lovely line from Scruton: “Conservatism starts from a sentiment that all mature people can readily share: the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created.”

    2/ Say Trump loses Florida by less than 1%; he suspends the tally on account of "irregularities" and nods vaguely at illegal immigrant voting, something he's been railing about for four years. Who stops him? I'm honestly curious.

    1/ The likelihood of Democratic takeovers in the Senate and Presidency are, while not, definitely real--and an unpopular impeachment cover-up probably won't help. But I am considerably less certain that an emboldened Trump/McConnell would allow this to happen.
