I wish there was a way to send moral support to all the people in line in Wisconsin.

Dear Wisconsinites: You are the patriotic soldiers in the fight for democracy. We love you. Stay safe and vote.

#ILoveWisconsinVoters

#VoterSuppression must stop.
The fate of the Wisconsin Supreme Court is in the hands of voters today.

It's hard to overstate how important today's vote is.

People voting today in Wisconsin deserve whatever medals are given to heroic soldiers who brave death to keep people free.

(Thread) The Authoritarian Disposition

Good question.

Combining this thread (Rule of Law v. Cult of Leadership) with scholarship from political psychology brings us to the conclusion that about 1/3 of the population has what psychologists call an authoritarian disposition.
1/ In this book is an essay called "Authoritarianism Is Not a Momentary Madness, But an Eternal Dynamic Within Liberal Democracies." (Authors @karen_stenner and @JonHaidt ) Karen made it available free, here: docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/02ff25_370…

I had an "ah ha!" moment reading it.
2/ The authors (and Karen in other work) describe people who have authoritarian dispositions, and distinguish such people from traditional or "status quo" conservatives.

Those with authoritarian dispositions are averse to complexity (which includes diversity).

This is our task for the next seven months.

Polls show Biden beating Trump by about 8 percentage points.

Democrats won the midterms by 8 percentage points. So at least this is consistent.

Goal: Expand that to 10 or 12 points, which translates to an electoral landslide.
Also more than half of the states already allow vote by mail, including lots of red and swing states.


Thank you. The days I get lots of doomsayers wear me out a bit. I totally understand the fears.

Sometimes (I'll admit) I get testy with doomsayers, so apologies in advance next time I get testy.

(Thread) Cult of Leadership v. Rule of Law

Trump fired Inspector General Michael Atkinson saying this👇

Then on Monday, Trump fired Glenn Fine, which removes him from his role as chair of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee.

lawfareblog.com/why-trumps-ins…
1/ Again, Trump was open about why: He didn’t think Fine was loyal enough to him.

@benjaminwittes, writing for Lawfare, asks why this isn't a national scandal.

Wittes notes that (1) the pandemic is absorbing everyone’s attention and (2) We know GOP senators are cool with it.
2/ Without Congress on board, the only “oversight” of the president comes from the voters.

Wittes is also correct: The election will be about what kind of country we will have going forward.

It seems to me that Max Weber (1864-1920) explains it best.
