1. Well, this is the most honest take I've heard in a long time out of anyone from the media.

He has gotten stronger, his ideas have gotten stronger. But it's easier to mistake because some of them have gotten quieter, and traditional pollsters will never ID them.

...
2. There was always synergy between the rightwing and leftwing populist movements, and the clever albeit dishonest use of racially charged politics by leftwingers like Warren and Sanders have obfuscated that.

But they're going to lose credibility showing what frauds they were.
3. Where will they go during what is becoming more evident by the day, a corporatist authoritarian administration?

Not the Democratic Party. Hell, not even the traditional Republican Party.

So, yes, Trump's base absolutely can get much stronger, and already is more diverse.
"A lot of people said they aren't really Republicans, that, like, they're for Trump. That's it ... I think the base is getting stronger, truly. I think an impeachment would make him even more powerful — a conviction, is what I mean."

Even Tara Palmeri hears it.

Remote learning is a disaster for ALL children, not just "Black and brown". The the focus on certain races over others 1) reveals a major defect in how white urban liberals think, and 2) because of that defect, became the story and distracted from the actual issue.

Sad-@$$ $#!t.
Also, this sentence and claim in Brooks' article is false.

"This was unclear last March and April, but now study after study has shown that schools can be safe."

Transmission of Covid-19 is not at all novel vs. other SARS-like viruses.

It was clear.

Truth be told, @nytdavidbrooks and others who are now doing a U-Turn on school closures succumbed to panic and groupthink last spring. They allowed their judgement and reason, as well as ideology and political preferences, to cloud their reason.

Speaking of reason...

Before you lie to everyone in public, you should probably make sure she wasn't streaming the video when the event you lied about was taking place.
The staffer for @CoriBush who was yelling like a psycho at @mtgreenee sounded a lot like that lunatic we saw assault a woman in @MichaelsStores... over a mask.

Grown beta men are now able to yell at and assault women for not wearing a mask properly.

Sounds very "progressive".
Btw, alphas always take stereotypical blame. But as it turns out, it's the betas who are jumping at the opportunity to use the cult of mask-wearing to justify the mistreatment of women.

1. After four years, you haven’t learned shit.

Nothing, nothing Donald Trump could’ve ever said or did — in the beginning or end — would’ve made them act differently. DC is a military junta shithole because that’s who they are.
2. He never had a honeymoon. He hired everyone he should not have — from Rex Tillerson for Conde Rice to Bill Barr for G.W. Bush — all to extend a hand, only for them to spit in it.

They hated Donald Trump because he stood for and constantly reminded them of, their failures.
3. He was a challenge to the status quo, which knows nothing but preservation and self-perpetuation, and will do anything in the name of them.

The only thing he could’ve done to avoid being where we are now, is to not ever have run in the first place.

End of story.

The capitol doesn’t look like this is a peaceful transition of power. It looks like a military junta enduring their figurehead isn’t opposed by political dissidents.
None of these extreme measures are necessary and bogus media concern is nauseatingly hypocritical.

Four years ago, #BigMediaHateMachine praised and promoted a mob burning cars, attacking cops and threatening Trump's life.

Media fueled them with a fake collusion conspiracy.
Ironically, the core of the collusion conspiracy was the allegation that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin — together somehow — had stolen the election from Hillary Clinton, something they knew was a flat out fabrication.

Its intended effect was violence, destruction and disunity.

By this logic @Jack, you'd need to ban both @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris for pushing the "very fine people" hoax, funding/inciting riots that led to cop-killings, brutal attacks on citizens, the destruction of thousands of businesses, and the burning of major U.S. cities.
Further, using that logic, @Jack would have to ban @RepSwalwell, @AdamSchiff, most other elected Democrats, @CNN, @NBCNews, @nytimes, @washingtonpost and any other "news" outlet who helped them push the Russia Hoax that led to James Hodgkinson shooting @SteveScalise, and others.
“Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.”

That's what leftwing madman James Hodgkinson posted to Facebook right before he decided to shoot Steve Scalise and 4 others.

@Jack, anyone banned for promoting the Russian Collusion fraud?

Jobless Claims Soar 181k Ahead of Biden Inauguration ppdnews.us/2s-DlgR
The forward-looking gauges for both the Survey of Consumers and Consumer Confidence Index both began to collapse weeks ago after the election. @NFIB Small Business Optimism fell below average for 1st time since 1973, and jobless claims are spiking.

The economy is taking a turn.
Businesses don't make decisions on the here-and-now. They make decisions based on what they anticipate will happen in the future.

That's why all these indicators soared to record highs after the election of Donald Trump, and that's why they're all plummeting ahead of @JoeBiden.
