They're Losing
...but with this caveat:
Even when it's obvious the other side is losing, it doesn't mean you're winning.
You have to step up and take it.
I've been walkin' 40 miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are just too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can still lose with a winnin' hand.
-- Bob Dylan
The Professional Left
Luke 12: 2
There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
Kyrsten Sinema is Ransomware dressed up to look like a US Senator.
The Trump campaign lost another one - they lost last year in their attempt to enforce Omarosa's NDA, and they've capitulated in their fight against another staffer (via The Hill). It seems that all of the NDAs are now null and void, and we can probably expect a flood of memoirs dishing the dirt.

Murc's Law:
The public misperception that Democrats are the only ones with agency and causal influence in American politics.
Nancy Pelosi's House has passed more then 60 bills codifying Roe v Wade - all blocked by Republican filibuster in the Senate - aided by Sinema and Manchin.

GOP campaign fund-raising is a license to launder money.
Marjorie Taylor Greene paid $92,000 for a car - using campaign funds.
The average annual income for MAGA is about $50,000.
Marj "donated" $44,000 to Mr Trump to help out with a little party at mar-A-Lago.

... and - on April 6, Miami Herald reported a sudden surge in diagnoses for colon cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer, and prostate cancer - at the age of 65 - because that when Medicare kicks in and they don't have to worry as much about going broke because of the ghouls and vultures in the insurance companies.

Democrats did a thing.
We took back the Virginia state government in 2017.
We took the US House in 2018.
We took the White House and the US Senate in 2020.
Liberals did that.
Progressives did that.
LGBTQ+ did that.
Women did that.
Women of color did that.
Patriots - the real ones - did that.
Democrats did that.

First tho: The Death Of Irony, Part ∞
Woman trampled in Capitol riots had 'don't tread on me' flag
A woman trampled to death during the riot at the US Capitol had been carrying a flag reading: "Don't tread on me".
Rosanne Boyland, 34, was killed in the crush when a few rioters started pushing people, her friend Justin Winchell said.
"They basically created a panic, and the police, in turn, push back on them, so people started falling," Mr Winchell said.
"I put my arm underneath her and was pulling her out and then another guy fell on top of her, and another guy was just walking (on top of her).
"There were people stacked two-three deep…people just crushed."
Paramedics desperately tried to revive her but were unable to.
Another "patriot" martyred to the cause.
Driftglass has dubbed the shit that went down on Jan 6 "The Incel Insurrection."

Trump (eg) complains about how unfair it is when Leslie Stahl asks "tough questions".
That's calculated to make it harder for any Democrat to say Breitbart is being unfair when they straight up lie about Hunter Biden (eg).
For now, let's bypass the part about how this technique is useful in setting up your opponent for the hypocrisy slam - ie: how can you cry "unfair" when you denied my claim of unfairness before!?!
So anyway, we've got "one side" saying it's unfair when it isn't. And "the other side" saying it's unfair because it is.
As public awareness starts to come around to where we recognize that Biden is mostly leveling with us about it all, and that Trump is just being a big fay crybaby, it's time for David Brooks to jump in with a column in NYT or go on NPR to tell us that the real problem is that everybody thinks everything is unfair and if we could just stop yelling about it all the time, everything would be so much better - like in the olden days way back before the hippies got us all confused with their blah blah blah.
This is a recurring theme in this fucked up world of corporate media, and something Driftglass works hard to remind us about.

Some really tasty morsels this week.
"There is great power in calling things by their true names."
"The south is no longer a region - it's a state of mind."
The 4 questions for Never-Trumper allies
- What do you think the problem is?
- What do you think the solution is?
- How do you think things got this way?
- What was your role in making it this way?
It's not "Trumpism".
Donald Trump did not remake the Republican party in his own image - he's the perfect reflection of what the GOP has become.

I'm late with this, but holy crap - it's all there.
"...this is not the 4th year of the Trump presidency - this is the 40th year of Reagan, and the 60th year of Nixon's Southern Strategy."
Hillary had pages in her Campaign Book dealing with what we needed to know

We're always wondering, and always hearing the question, "How did we get there?"
How did we go from No Drama Obama to a gameshow host who pimps the crazy stoopid high-school-fuck-around drama all day every day?
Driftglass explains: The rubes were so well-conditioned by a constant refrain of "Obama's a lawless tyrant who does whatever he wants and gets away it...", that they became perfectly willing to accept the actual tyranny of a GOP led by Trump because it was time for some payback and now it's my guy doing the tyrannizing and all those rotten migrant-loving baby-killing libtard gun-grabbers are gonna get it now and blah blah blah.
They don't worry about looking like fools when they stand up and rant for 10 minutes about complete bullshit with absolutely no facts to back them up - because their target audience loves it no matter what.
