I wonder how true this assertion is, and whether there has been any social science done on it.

The people are sovereign. Not the courts. Not the executive. And not even the legislature. In that order. If more Americans understood this, they’d actually be, well, American.

Whoever released this video still believes that institutions have power, that the Green, postmodern-pluralist stage of social evolution didn’t come along and completely wipe out the grand normative container they used to craft, tend & gate keep.

Hey MAGAs, that new Palantir database Donald Trump just created will track how many guns you own, and what type

Excellent thread. A big, consistent weakness of the left is their belief that value is fixed & therefore need be “redistributed”. Value is created the moment you decide to do so. Want a more valuable world? Produce it.

It’s all a game. The rich hold the cups, politicians move the ball, and the people are the marks. This isn’t hard: honest truth telling to the American people, they have a choice: Inflation. Lower social security. Or higher taxes. The game is to not tell them the truth, borrow

Americans, here are your choices. Choose. (These are WAG estimates, not scientific)

The Big Beautiful Bill and the GOP acquiescence to it demonstrate that MAGA, despite its populist rhetoric, exemplifies a “passive revolution” in Gramscian terms: it presents itself as a radical break from the political establishment, yet ultimately reinforces the existing power

Credit to Massie, he nailed it.

Nope. China just got closer to not winning.

Clown show from top to bottom.

I wouldn't take this bet.
