The most politically important "great replacement" under way in the United States is the "replacement" of conservative Christians by their own liberal and secular children and grandchildren.

The question Tucker Carlson's viewers *should* be thinking about: if you want to preserve what you hold most dear, how do you carry that inheritance into the modern age in a way that does not repel your own children?

I appreciate why those appalled by the attack on Congress January 6, 2021, emphasize the violence against police that day. Trump supporters and fellow-travelers will concede that violence against police is wrong - even if they hedge with many "what abouts?" 1/x
The violence against police on January 6, 2021, was vicious and intentional. Yet the anti-police violence was incidental to the day's central crime. President Trump incited - and thousands of his supporters attempted - a violent plot to overturn a democratic election. 2/x
Trump supporters attacked police on January 6, 2021, because the police stood in the way of the mission Trump sent his supporters to execute: killing, kidnapping, or incapacitating Vice President Pence to force a halt to the electoral count so Trump could stay president. 3/x

In 2017, Trump inherited a strong economy, low interest rates, and a generally stable international situation. For the next 3 years, Trump enjoyed the dividends from his inheritance - until he crashed into his first real crisis, the COVID pandemic. 1/x
In 2025, Trump inherits a strong economy again, but this time shadowed by rising interest rates. He arrives with expensive commitments: trade wars, mass deportations, renewal of a big tax cut, etc. US foreign policy also faces more dangers than his easy 2017 inheritance. 2/x
For 3/4 of his first term, Trump presided as a good-times president, taking personal credit for the long expansion that began half a decade before he took office. Good-times presiding is what he knows how to do. 3/x

I was glad to be invited onto @Morning_Joe this morning to talk about Syria. The show is one of the most important platforms in US politics. With Trump threatening to jail his critics, small d-democrats must stand together. I always speak freely without fear anywhere I appear.
I’ll recapitulate here what I said this morning. I reminded viewers of President-elect Trump’s statement that Syria is none of US business - and his VP-elect’s bad habit of repeating Russian propaganda that the Assad regime protected minorities.
The Syrian civil war - and Russian atrocities to support Assad- drove half the Syrian population into exile. Most went to Turkey; many to Europe. That migration powered the rise of the far right in Europe - contributed to Brexit - and helped elect Trump in 2016.

Don't be misdirected. The nomination of Kash Patel slathers frosting and sprinkles on the outrage ... but the outrage is the announced firing of Director Wray. Latest in @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Even if Patel nomination, like Matt Gaetz's for AG, eventually collapses and he is replaced by a less ridiculous nominee - the harm is that Trump is treating the FBI as an extension of presidential power. Read here theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
In Watergate, President Nixon covertly tried (and failed) to corrupt the FBI and other security agencies.

Trump is opening his second administration with a flagrantly public attempt to corrupt the FBI and other security agencies.

Canadian governments - federal, provincial, municipal - better have plans ready for when displaced asylum-seekers (thousands? tens of thousands? hundreds of thousands?) attempt to cross the border from the United States into Canada.
Under present law and policy, border-crossers from the US can be refused entry into Canada. But that policy will become hard to enforce if the number of border-crosses gets very big.canada.ca/en/immigration…
The pressure of migrant numbrers collapsed the German borders in 2015. Once Germany opened, hundreds of thousands of people arrived in a very few weeks from all over the world. Brexit, Trump, all the present era of reactionary authoritarian nationalism trace back to that moment.

One of my best friends in elementary school was a boy named Brian. He vanished from class during our 6th grade year: sick. No, we could not visit, the teacher said. We were encouraged to draw and write cards instead. 1/x
The card-writing became a regular ritual for our class and for Brian's friends. Then came the day when the teacher solemnly informed the class that Brian had died. He had succumbed to childhood leukemia, a hopeless killer in the early 1970s. 2/x
Today, childhood leukemia has a 90% survival rate, thanks to a sophisticated menu of treatments developed and sold by companies like Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical-technology.com/data-insights/…, Novartis novartis.com/us-en/sites/no…, and Pfizer. pfizer.com/products/produ… 3/x
