Geriatric long term care doc. Made an anonymous account to rant on. Yes, I am very immature sometimes. No, I don’t care. https://xitter.twitterapi.xyz/t.co/TjT0yl5Auz

When I was in second and third grade I would regularly get in trouble for sneaking novels into class (Robin Cook and Koontz novels were my thing) to secretly read under the desk while the teacher was droning on about something painfully stupid

I have pointed out for years that if you replace "white people" and "whiteness" with "Tutsi", NPR becomes indistinguishable from Hutu Power Radio.
🙄That’s a really ahistorical take on why the EC system exists but sure.
I guess in the same vein, eliminating the Electoral College would benefit the leftist urbanoids who pack cities with their black underclass and oogabooga foreigner client groups, & allow them to continue their extractive tyranny on middle America and “flyover country.”

The issue is if the Democrats go ahead and engineer things like the interstate EC compact, packing SCOTUS, & Puerto Rico & DC Statehood, they will end up engineering a system of single party rule impossible to break.
That leads me back to the analogy of all of this I like a lot. It’s like pushing a an inflated beach ball underwater, almost like you’re trying to drown it. The ball briefly popped back above the surface in 2016 & 2024 - but now it’s being violently submerged again, with even greater force. They may keep the ball submerged for a good long while now.
Something very unpopular to say, but if Republicans go on to lose the presidency in 2028, the midterm snapback in 2030 would be absolutely biblical.
1. The anti-Trump vote goes away
2. The Republicans mid-decade redistricting is STILL in play for a lot of states and would revert back quickly in a normal environment, even harsher in a red wave.
3. The 2030 state and local elections are largely responsible for new maps. This would include maps drawn without VRA2 and all the red districts that would be acquired (primarily from CA). Even crazier: Picking off blue states, even via a fluke means Republicans would get a seat at their redistricting table.
Basically Dems mistimed their big night. 2026 is largely inconsequential.
Only downside is not many Senate seats are gettable in 2030. AZ and NV are the ones that jump out the most. WI and MI (lol!) are next up. Maybe NY at this point?

It’s not a mystery as to why half the population is in the “burn it all down” mindset. Government policy since 2020(since 2008 really) was to flood the system with new money in order to spur rapid inflation so heavily indebted government entities could keep spending like drunken sailors. The second derivative of that is that the asset holders got wild appreciation and the non asset holders got a grocery bill that doubled and health care that they couldn’t afford. If I was 30 years younger when this moronic policy was instituted I’d be furious as well. I like to think I’d be perceptive enough to identify who was to blame and not vote to reward them with more power but who knows? Anger makes you lose the ability to critically think.

There are plenty of deficiencies and outright failures that will be associated with Trump 2.0. I think the greatest hurdle was the reluctance to kill the asset bubbles which are the source of broad dissatisfaction about affordability. People might not want to admit it, but it's true. There has been insane amounts of money creation via private credit, crypto, leveraged ETFs, RE, new financial vehicles, etc, not to mention all the money printed during the COVID era. Those excess dollars flow into everything else.
Trump mentioned the boomer RE equity, always talked about 401ks and line go up, made Trump accounts, etc. He believed in the illusion and sophomoric idea that the market "predicts the economy." He even got in on the crypto action.
To solve the crisis of inflation and affordability requires sacrificing something or some group. That is very politically difficult. Until this issue is properly addressed through less intervention designed to perpetually support the asset owning classes, things won't magically be solved, no matter if it's Trump or someone else.
This was always the strangest one ever. The last time I cared about being “misgendered” was probably fourth grade. Why would a normal person care?
Call me “ma’am” or “she” etc in conversation if you like. I won’t care & the most likely practical effect is people around you will get confused by you & not have any idea who you’re talking about

This is basically the purest form of completely spiteful and utterly pointless administrative anarcho-tyranny.
There’s virtually no fitness-related dietary supplements of any kind that have any appreciable data behind them, with creatine being pretty much the only exception.
Not only does creatine supplementation appear to reliably build muscle, it even seems to yield cognitive benefits (with really the only safety signals I’m aware of being for the minority of people with compromised kidney function).
But we’re going to start threatening shopkeepers into ID-ing their customers if they want to buy it.
And from the same people only too happy to underwrite horrifically disfiguring children with puberty blockers and hormone treatments as a form of legimate medical practice - “gender affirming care.”

The uniparty elites are throwing a party because they think the revolt is over. What the Dems, RINOs, WSJ, all of them are celebrating is the destruction of what they call MAGA, but was really a populist revolt in the Heartland.
