Take a look at this brilliant George Saunders piece from 2016. It's even more amazing at this end of the experience. newyorker.com/magazine/2016/…
We narrowly missed losing our democracy entirely in this election. If we want not to lose it in the next four years, this essay is a very good place to start. newyorker.com/magazine/2016/…

Back to Saunders, writing in 2016. Bear in mind that 60% of Americans are in the bottom 60% of their high school class, and always will be: that's the political fact that our politics obscures, as does a 'meritocratic' economy.

The fact that Saunders in 2016 and David Brooks in 2020 have written essentially the same paragraph should be a reminder to read this piece, an exegesis of everything in that dual paragraph. @rabbilerner uses 8900 words, probably b/c he wants it to stick. tikkun.org/the-psychopath…
If we're hoping that the Democratic coalition can continue to rely on the racism of the GOP to build an intact majority, remember that Trump *increased* his share of votes from minorities in 2020. Why would that be? An explainer from earlier this year: newrepublic.com/article/156000…
