Good article, though it's easily the most sobering thing I've read all year and is a stark reminder that we're currently sleepwalking right into another coup attempt that is far more likely to succeed.

I've toyed with the idea of what it'd be like to live abroad for a while on and off pretty much my whole adult life. But with the way things seem to be headed here in the US, I might have to start giving those plans more serious thought.

but i still say he's too p*ssy to run again. he'll never leave his right wing safe spaces where he can pretend he won in 2020
I feel the same. Just something tells me he won't do it. If mid terms go really bad for dems and it's looking like Kamala will be the candidate in '24, Trump might not pass up on that kind of lay up.

But something tells me he doesn't have it in him to run again.

Trump is just a puppet anyways. If he runs again, expect his VP to be a Gaetz type sycophant.

Those never Trumpers are the really scared ones cause they know they can’t stop the train a second time and Trump won’t have to debate or rally his way to the GOP nomination.

So then it’s either fall in line to reap the chaos/benefits a second time or lay down and see if the Dems can stop him.

Part of me wants to believe this but since history doesn’t repeat itself, only rhymes.

I don’t think this is what is going to happen.


I think the strike down of Roe is going to set off the next shift in politics. The Republicans aren’t going to be able to hide behind the “ if we get power” and they are going to create the Conservative states rights they crave and pay for it.

Then there were economic anomalies. Over the previous decade, one in four violent extremists arrested by the FBI had been unemployed. But only 7 percent of the January 6 insurgents were jobless, and more than half of the group had a white-collar job or owned their own business. There were doctors, architects, a Google field-operations specialist, the CEO of a marketing firm, a State Department official. “The last time America saw middle-class whites involved in violence was the expansion of the second KKK in the 1920s,” Pape told me.

The researchers tried a hypothesis: Insurgents might be more likely to come from counties where white household income was dropping. Not so. Household income made no difference at all.

Only one meaningful correlation emerged. Other things being equal, insurgents were much more likely to come from a county where the white share of the population was in decline. For every one-point drop in a county’s percentage of non-Hispanic whites from 2015 to 2019, the likelihood of an insurgent hailing from that county increased by 25 percent. This was a strong link, and it held up in every state.
Economic Anxiety…

I thought this was all a class reductionist petite bourgeois distraction

@mastermind do you care?

That’s the hidden secret about trump supporters; the heart of it aint poor white people. That’s why that campaign is frighten over the suburbs because suburban whites were why Trump won.

Poor white people dont even vote that heavy and I don’t think they’ve done a good job with outreach to them, despite trying.

poor white people--like many poor people--don't vote because they correctly realized the system doesn't work for them.

The MAGA whites you see on cameras are mostly middle class.

yup.

And those affluent whites live in New York, Pennsylvania, DC, Maryland, California and many other blue states. Its no different than what the right wing thinks.
