Stanning isn’t about who you support, it’s about the mentality with which you support them. Political Stans are a very particular type. They’re typically white, well off enough to be removed from society’s most egregious injustices, and aggressively centrist. This last bit is the most important. Stans believe that America’s two party system works and works well. Trump is not a symptom, he’s the disease. Despite the fact that Republican policy has been openly ghoulish for decades, they see their friends across the aisle not as the opposition but as fellow Americans who want what they want, just in a different way. They’re aghast at what Trump’s administration has done but they rarely acknowledge any of the societal problems that existed before he took office. Trump is The Bad Guy and those who are against him are The Good Guys. https://dansheehan.substack.com/p/they-wont-save-you-df7?fbclid=IwAR2WrRlZWix9C0QvJH4lbRtUuAHZeZ2lBcRX62QESLpwhXsJayGinInuCeE
