This piece is striking, and clearly indicates in public language a condemnation of liberalism as a working political order I’ve heard in more theoretical terms on the left for a long time:

I'm not sure what would keep educated young adults in Iowa. There's literally zero reason to stay unless it's because of family ties. Decades of slow growth, death of rural communities, underfunding public ed, draconian laws against women's reproductive health... Not worth it.

This is exactly what he was trained to do. They just don’t like that he chose for himself which cause to die for.

They’ve been trying to force TikTok to either sell to Microsoft or Meta ever since it outpaced both the tech giants (remember these the mfs who hoist up the economy). This ain’t about no damn Chinese spyware. This is about the US not having control over the flow of info.

this remains to me one of the most interesting emails ever written x.com/ArmandDoma/sta…

“The goal is to use Israel to wash money out of the US and Europe taxpayers through Ukraine/Israel and back into the hands of of a transnational elite (BlackRock). The goal is an endless war, not a successful war”…

You are currently president

"I know I will respect the limits of a president’s power" "Look at this, look at what is written here, USA. These are the American weapons that are used to destroy the buildings..."
