kinda funny how Republican voters are inarguably happier when a Dem is president. they don’t actually want to be in charge of shit, they want to roll coal and whip themselves into a frenzy over wholly imaginary liberal tyranny. now they’ve caught the car and it fuckin sucks

Trump coalition is collapsing. His net approval among noncollege whites has dropped 34 points. On Iran he's 13 points underwater with them. Orbanism is done. Meloni snubbed him. On the pod, @alexshephard.bsky.social and I dissect MAGA's collapse at home and abroad: newrepublic.com/article/2090...

I keep saying that the right is fundamentally bratty. The reason they act out and destroy their institutions and invent conspiracy shit and whine about censorship is because they want to be oppressed so they can screech about it. We should indulge them! They like knowing daddy is mad at them!

Also they don’t want to be *actually* oppressed. They’re all the dude talking huge amounts shit who then realizes the guy they’re talking shit to is ready to throw down and then immediately start doing the “Woah, buddy, calm down!” peaceable thing.

yeah, stuff like mask or vaccine mandates, that's the ideal level of oppression
