"The implicit deal RDS was offering to anti-Trump Rs was something like this: [--]. RDS campaigns with some Trumpish characteristics that anti-Trump Rs might normally eschew. [--]. In doing so he peels off Trump voters. [--]. Anti-Trump Rs accept the strategic necessity. But RDS failed at doing (2) at any significant scale. So in turn the anti-Trump Rs aren't holding up their end of the bargain either"

"This doesnt strike me as too unusual. In a vacuum your typical ultra-powerful liberal often somewhat likes and respects the typical upscale right-libertarian and considers him a worthy interlocutor. Sotto voce they might cop to liking him better than the more embarrassing members of their own nominal coalition. There are limits to this unlikely respect. When the right-libertarian gains too much power forms coalitions with partners the liberal actually dislikes or moves on from attacking regulation to attacking redistribution then the unlikely respect fades. Theres already potential for this"

But "we hebben een serieus probleem" INCREDIBLY funny. A theory: Latinate language cognates are not funny but Germanic cognates are hilarious for some reason. Is it funny that "prosperidad" is the Spanish word for "prosperity" No not at all. But it's very funny that "falsch" is the German word for "false" A theory: Latinate language cognates are not funny but Germanic cognates are hilarious for some"

"Under socialism everything will have the same name as it did when Mom still did the laundry for me. Pitchfork is one thing but capitalism admitting it doesnt know how to keep a legacy brand like Sports Illustrated alive should be a radicalizing moment for Americans.
