OK -- so I read it --- the people attending Trump rallies are a small
proportion of the people who VOTED for Trump --- I think a pair of shoes
will beat Trump this time around so long as the black electorate votes at
close to Obama level turnouts --- especially in Milwaukee, Detroit,
Pittsburgh --- Even Bernie would win (despite very intense red-baiting and
anti-semitism) ---

It is true -- Democratic infighting could ruin everything but this time
around, I really think Trumps fascism and racism will bring out more black
and brown voters than in 2016 ---

and (here I violate the purity standards) it is essential that everyone do
whatever they can to make sure Trump loses --- I really think it is
LITERALLY a matter of humanity's survival -- not that beating him will
change US policy enough to start to turn the corner against carbon
pollution - BUT -- if he wins, the earth is finished!

It is pretty hilarious. How can anyone watch a Trump speech and come away 
saying, "those Democrats are so negative, not like this guy". 

Republicans have been warning about the end of the country for decades. Really 
weird how he basically reproduces the spin from the right...

(Matt Taibbi knows how to write. Too bad he doesn't know how to think.)

The average American likes meat, sports, money, porn, cars, cartoons, 
and shopping. Less popular: socialism, privilege-checking, and the world 
ending in 10 years. Ironically, perhaps because of Trump, Democratic 
Party rhetoric in 2020 is relentlessly negative about the American 
experience. Every speech is a horror story about synagogue massacres or 
people dying without insulin or atrocities at the border. Republicans 
who used to complain about liberals “apologizing for America” were being 
silly, but 2020 Democrats sound like escapees from the Killing Fields.


Ronald Reagan once took working-class voters away from Democrats by 
offering permission to be proud of the flag. Trump offers permission to 
occupy the statistical American mean: out of shape, suffering from gas, 
poorly read, anti-intellectual, treasuring things above meaning, and 
hiding an awful credit history.
