"There will be a reversal of human rights, an erosion of safety for millions of people (and, sadly, including the nations we influence around the world), the rejection of basic principles of the law, and an increasing enslavement of democracy to oligarchs and billionaires.

That’s what Christian nationalists want. That’s Project 2025."

"Trump’s chaos calibrates itself … inside a unified and powerful ecosystem of rightwing news, online content and viral disinformation that has grown more powerful throughout this era, spewing the same falsehoods in unison day after day, on repeat, for years. It is the 'political technology' by which swathes of the population have voted in effect to anoint a king in the belief it will amount to more freedom."

"The decline in voter participation is what allows the Republicans to cosplay a mandate. If the elite political media plays along, that play-pretend becomes reality. Any story you read that uses the word mandate in any way except ironically is playing you for a fool…."

Trump Only Gets to Pretend to Have a Mandate Because of Low Turnout

Trump only gets to pretend he got one of those because of voter turnout.

"This election was about identity after all—an American identity which has become more tolerant of authoritarianism and less committed to democracy over the past decade. As Trump’s opponents try to figure out why they were defeated and how they can resist him over the next four years, they need to confront the dark reality about who we have become as a nation."

"Americans didn’t elect Trump because they were offended by the Democrats—they elected Trump because they like him. They know everything they need to know about Trump. He has been broadcasting his cruelty, hatred, and self-obsession into every American home for nearly a decade."

"The old narratives about the Democrats’ contempt for the working class and their racially divisive politics don’t apply to this election. The argument that Americans are in so much economic pain that they had to vote for Trump doesn’t hold up: Unemployment is just over 4 percent, the stock market was hitting all-time highs before Trump won, and inflation has plummeted from a peak of over 9 percent to 2.4 percent."

"A cultural and political chasm has opened up between Americans who still care about the integrity of their democracy and those who do not. We have entered an age of political nihilism in which our traditional conceptions of ideological and identitarian conflict must be abandoned. This election was about the identity of the United States as a whole, and it didn’t tell an inspiring story."

"The median age of a Fox News viewer is 68, and liberals have joked about the network 'brainwashing' their conservative parents. But rightwing social media content has effectively targeted and radicalized younger people, who — unlike the typical Hannity-obsessed grandpa — can vote for the next several decades.

"The pair discussed Roberts’s book, in which he describes how 'many of America’s institutions […] need to be burned'. Included among those to be incinerated, Roberts writes, are the FBI and the New York Times, along with 'every Ivy League college', '80% of ‘Catholic’ higher education', and the Boy Scouts of America."

Something we’re taught as physicians is that when talking w/ a distressed patient, you can’t meet #emotion with information

You have to meet emotion w/ acknowledgement & validation. Only then can the emotion fade & the brain receive information

Just thinking about this in context of the U.S. election

Maybe campaigns need to start employing experts on human emotion & behavior, not only information

Especially when #fascism harnesses that worst of human emotions (hate)

THIS is how the media incrementally normalizes genocide: NBC News website this morning describing Nazis harassing people attending a play about Anne Frank at an American Legion hall in MI.

Screen capture of NBC News website. Headline and sub headline reads: Protesters wave Nazi flags at 'The Diary of Anne Frank' production in Michigan. While some cast members were "understandably shaken," producers said, "they pulled together and finished the performance with strength and professionalism."

I just posted this valuable statement by Noah Berlatsky on Facebook, and Facebook immediately took down the posting:

"It may not be safe to remain friends with MAGA. Trump voters have told you they will hurt you. It’s reasonable to believe them. …

I’m not saying everyone in every case has to cut their MAGA family out of their life. Different people are in different circumstances; you can’t make blanket rules."

"Russia appears to be doing what every other entity that helped Trump get elected is doing, as they try to collect on their support: exerting what levers of pressure they have to get their objectives.

It turns out they likely have more levers of pressure — some of which are more powerful now, before Trump’s win is certified — and larger demands than most of the people who helped Trump get elected."

Russia has been engaged in a whole bunch of dick-wagging since Trump won the election. That's likely because the last time they helped Trump get elected, he deferred on and then failed to deliver his side of the bargain.

"I will not spend a lot of time here blaming whoever caused this tremendous loss. People everywhere are already doing that.

Assigning blame is useless unless viable solutions are offered and implemented.

That said, here are my top three reasons why we lost the election:"

1. Racism
2. Sexism
3. Misinformation and disinformation

I couldn't agree more with Stephanie G. Wilson:

"I’m not going to give any hot takes about the campaign, what it did wrong, or any particular tactics. … I don’t think small fixes would have made a difference. In this campaign, as in all of our country’s issues, we can’t fix systemic problems with individual solutions. A lot of that monday morning quarterbacking is self serving, and a lot of it can be a circular firing squad. No thank you."

"Could we easily make up for the loss of these workers by replacing them with native-born workers? No. Employment among native-born adults in their prime working years is higher than it was at any point during Trump’s first term. There just isn’t a large pool of idle but employable native-born Americans to put to work."

"Undocumented immigrants are more than a fifth of the construction work force, so deportations would severely hamper efforts to increase the housing supply. (And no, contrary to what JD Vance said, immigration hasn’t driven the recent spike in housing costs.)"

"For example, they account for an estimated 30 to 50 percent of workers in meatpacking.

If these workers are deported, the food industry will probably have great difficulty replacing them. Even in the best case, the industry will have to offer much higher wages — and, of course, these higher wages will be passed on in higher prices.

(Oh, and while we produce most of what we eat, we also import a lot of food — whose prices would be raised by tariffs.)"

"If you’re upset about grocery prices now, see what happens if Trump goes after a huge part of the agricultural work force; immigrants are around three-quarters of agricultural workers — & roughly half of them are undocumented. (& do you really doubt that many workers legally here will be caught up in Trump’s threatened dragnets?) Undocumented immigrants also play a large role in food processing."
