People are taking the wrong lesson here. It's not that immigrants don't care about immigration. Trump made the issue the center of his campaign in 2016, and didn't talk about it at all in 2020 (putting aside actual policy). Confirms conventional wisdom. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
This article BTW is why you shouldn't feel guilty about subscribing to the NYT even if you're a conservative. It's great analysis.
Nice visualizations here.

Some highlights from the stimulus bill. First, not less than $10 million for gender programs in Pakistan. $50 million for "women's leadership abroad." 1/n ImageImage
Support for democratization in the former Soviet Union, and $20 million to "strengthen democracy and civil society in Central Europe, including for transparency, independent media, rule of law, minority rights, and programs to combat anti-Semitism." 2/n Image
No Chinese poultry in the school lunch program. Pork and beef ok? Which lobbyist got this in there? 3/n Image

Our first report is up @CSPICenterOrg. George Hawley and I take on many of the myths of the Trump era, and take issue with national populism, an ideology that seeks to reorient Republican politics towards working-class concerns. 1/n cspicenter.org/the-national-p…
This view holds that economic concerns explain the rise of Trump, and Republicans moving away from dogmatic free market positions can help them build a working-class coalition and achieve electoral success. We show why data do not support this story. 2/n
The economic explanation of Trumpism is not only popular with national populists, but thinkers outside that circle, such as @charlesmurray and @sullydish. Also, Republican politicians. Here's Ted Cruz from a few days ago, and Rubio from earlier this month. 3/n

Attempt to change the results in Michigan thwarted by black resident showing up and accusing the Republicans of being racist.

Pretty spineless behavior if you really thought the election was stolen!

Most cowardly coup plotters ever. nytimes.com/2020/11/17/us/…
Another story on the same events.

"The staff, largely made up of middle-aged and 20-something Black men and women, looked on in silence with their arms crossed as they watched the unprecedented move not to approve the results." washingtonpost.com/politics/michi…
More on the shaming that went into the Wayne County officials changing their minds, this time from a conservative news source. Lots of talk of what will your children think and history will remember. washingtonexaminer.com/news/detroit-a…

I’m going to download Parler and see if it makes me feel like a free man.
I joined and the first thing it did was recommend I follow Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, or Duck Dynasty guy. Is anyone on that site not a Republican tv personality? I like free speech but there’s got to be someone worth listening to.
Found Alex Jones. He’s at least funny.

State Department new document on China shows the pathologies of the national security state and new cold warriors on full display. Let's take a look. beta.documentcloud.org/documents/2040…
The document needs to justify itself by pointing to Chinese behavior. What is the problem? Trade and investment. From the country that bombs other nations and kills their leaders. They're describing the rise of a peaceful power and putting it in the most sinister terms. 2/n
China buys oil from the Middle East! It sells them weapons, which "undermines US defense companies" (they forgot you're not supposed to say that part aloud)

China imports food from Latin America and sells them goods it produces itself! 3/n

Seriously, does Trump actually believe the election is determined by network projections? And is all of Trumpworld going along with it because nobody wants to tell him otherwise?

The campaign seems to have spent a lot of time and energy on this. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Again, I'm starting to think they literally believe this.
They literally have no idea how any of this works.
