Invited on a conservative podcast today. We celebrated punk rock as I politilely told them Trump was obviously manifestly unfit for office & I view their parent org as a propaganda arm of the Republican Party. They couldn’t have been more decent to me.

This is how they may win.
My eyes are open. This isn’t my team. But when normal souls who think normal thoughts have to go over to their competitor’s house to have civil constructive discussion, because their own home often hurls poop at any who won’t tow an incoherent party line, loss has to be budgeted.
Don’t get sold the narrative that Trump now owns ALL US Conservatism. He does own a good chunk of it. But there‘s also a new strain of tolerant conservatism that‘s very liberal: relentlessly civil, anti-inequality, pro-logic, pro-gay, pro-weed, pro-free speech & multicultural.
What is causing this? I don’t know.

But one partial explanation is that many normal adults made to feel like pariahs are leaving the Democratic Party & simply taking their liberal values across the street. It’s like visiting a Little Italy, Koreatown or other diaspora community.
