By Hannah Allam, National Public Radio The widespread embrace of conspiracy and disinformation amounts to a “mass radicalization” of Americans, and increases the risk of right-wing violence, veteran security officials and terrorism researchers warn. At conferences, in op-eds and at agency meetings, domestic terrorism analysts are raising concern […]
By TINA NGUYEN, Politico An 1807 law invoked only in the most violent circumstances is now a rallying cry for the MAGA-ites most committed to the fantasy that Donald Trump will never leave office. The law, the Insurrection Act, allows the president to deploy troops to suppress domestic […]
The actual leadership (ownership) of the Republican Party (American ARENA/American Likudniks) is actually to the right of both New York liberal Trump and the know-nothing populist “basis.”
Fracture, fracture, fracture…

The most dangerous form of rhetorical excess in US politics is not the standard hate rhetoric between Red/Blue tribal loyalists but the enmity that is directed toward two backwater but nuclear-armed provinces in global capitalism, Russia and China, and a nation that is actually under siege by the […]
A pretty good assessment of the partisan/tribal “civil war” from Williamson, proving that even a neocon mouthpiece can be right twice a day. By Kevin Williamson, National Review In an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN, Bill Gates said he expects that there will be an ugly wave of […]
This is hilarious. The best thing about Trump is that he is a chaos agent who has more or less left the Republican Party in shambles. Now we need a Democratic Trump.
Excellent. Now if we could only have a Democratic civil war.
The new Asshole-in-Chief is already prepping for the job. He’s not going to let Trump upstage him in dickishness.
If Trump manages to paralyze the GOP by turning it into a pro wrestling franchise like the WWE or WCW he really will be performing a “service to his nation.” Team Rising reacts to Donald Trump’s tentative 2024 plans and the acknowledgement from top Republicans that Joe Biden […]
And the ruling class is really taking this seriously as evidenced by one federal judge after another laughing Trump’s lawsuits out of court. By Jeremy Pelzer, Cleveland.Com COLUMBUS, Ohio — A prominent Ohio tea party leader has taken out a full-page ad in the Washington Times calling on […]
This pretty funny in place. Saagar Enjeti gives his reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision not to take up the Trump campaign’s lawsuit challenging the election results in Texas.
The game of rotating asshole-in-chief. Krystal Ball compares some of Joe Biden’s recent statements and style to Donald Trump’s.
I spent the last four years mocking the Left’s hysteria over Trump’s alleged “fascism.” Now, I will get to spend the next few years mocking Biden’s alleged “communism.” Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti weigh in on a potential challenge in the house to reverse Joe Biden’s victory, the […]
The Democraps had their meltdown moment in 2016. Now the Repugnicans get their turn. What was most interesting about the recent election is that the two ruling class parties and their house media managed to convince millions of Americans that a contest between what amounts to two moderate […]
By Rod Dreher, The American Conservative For my sins, I guess, I watched all six hours of the Jericho March proceedings from Washington today, on the march webcast. I say for my sins, but in truth, I decided to watch it because I am interested in what the […]
Rod Dreher, The American Conservative Before I get started here, let me say clearly that Eric Metaxas has been a friend for over 20 years. He is a dear man, very kind and sincere, and loves God with all his heart. Nothing I say here should be interpreted […]
According to Zeihan, Democrats greatly improved their performance among the military, business interests, and fiscal conservatives, while the Republicans improved their performance among labor unions and Hispanics. If Obama was George McGovern’s revenge, can we say that Trump is Ross Perot’s and Pat Buchanan’s revenge? He also estimates […]
The most interesting thing about Yang is the way he managed to mainstream the UBI idea, which was a far-fringe idea pre-Yang.
Let the Red and Blue go their own way. Russia Today A Texas-led motion to the US Supreme Court challenging the elections in four states that declared Joe Biden president has angered Democrats. Between that and a rant by CNN’s Chris Cuomo, ‘Civil War’ began trending on Twitter. […]
I don’t care about electoral politics, but I wish Yang luck on this. Some pretty good economic analysis in this.
So much for the “coup.”
The most interesting thing about the election was the way in which what are essentially two moderate Republican candidates managed to dupe millions into thinking this was some kind of Eastern Front existential showdown between fascism and communism. By Kevin Singer, Alyssa Rockenbach The Independent Men who refer […]
It’s funny to watch some bimbo trophy wife whose husband bought her a Senate seat try to pretend like she has an IQ above the proverbial room temperature.
Ain’t gonna happen. Look for a genuine armed insurgency based in rural America to emerge at some point in the future like the similar insurgencies that have traditionally existed in remote areas of Latin America as the US class system increasingly begins to look like Latin America’s class […]
Whatever else could be said about Trump, at least he’s a thorn in the side of the neocons and Reaganites.
By Don Fitz “And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint; And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profits shall this birthright […]
National political reporter, Jonathan Easley, discusses why Democrats are concerned that the party would drift back to old established ways.
Having Trump stay around as a permanent thorn in the side to the Republicans and causing permanent paralysis on the left should be hilarious. Saagar Enjeti and Ryan Grim react to President Trump teasing a presidential bid in 2024.
Tim Pool seems to have gone full OANN at this point. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if much of this stuff is true. But it’s a done deal. The election is over and the power elite has the man they want. However, the creation of a “November criminals/stab […]

Saagar Enjeti and Ryan Grim compare Joe Biden’s administration to President Obama’s.
LOL. There’s your “coup.” One by one, the neocon and neo-Reaganite plants in the Trump administration are throwing Orange Man under the bus. By Michael Balsamo, AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — Disputing President Donald Trump’s persistent, baseless claims, Attorney General William Barr declared Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department […]
I had Giuliani figured out years ago. He’s often thought of as a conservative because of his “law and order” policies when he was mayor of New York and as a US Attorney, but he was just a standard New York liberal Republican. The neocons tried to groom […]
Duh? Asked if he would leave the White House if the Electoral College votes for Biden, Trump said: “Certainly I will. Certainly I will. And you know that.” But Trump said it would be hard for him to concede because “we know there was massive fraud,” while continuing […]
Joseph Cotto and I discuss the fragmentation of the United States. Increasingly, the USA is going to be fragmented into an ever-growing number of neo-tribes that lack a common cultural framework with many of these regarding many of the others as inherently illegitimate. An electoral win by “the […]
There is usually a direct correlation between unemployment rates and incumbent victory/defeat in presidential elections. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss how unemployment drove voters in the Presidential Election.
The only hope for the Republicans to continue to be a competitive national party will be to increase their ability to attract minority voters. It doesn’t look for them even if Trump managed to improve his performance among minorities in 2020 over 2016. My guess is that the […]
The split between the managerial class and the “post-bourgeois proletariat” identified by Sam Francis 25 years ago. By Aaron Zitner, Wall Street Journal The job and wage growth that President Trump hoped would propel him to a second term was particularly strong in metropolitan America. Yet the Americans […]
Gee, who would’ve thought?
Well, well, well… Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss MSNBC’s blacklisting of former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
To ask the question is to answer it. He was the plutocrats’ handpicked frontman to purge the Orange Man. Hedges is way too much of a conventional liberal ideologue for my tastes, and this interview contains a fair amount of obvious hyperbole, but he’s interesting is that he […]
So Republicans and Democrats share a similar future. Fair enough. The encouraging thing that has happened on the mainstream right-wing lately has been the signs of a split between FOX and the Trumpists and talk of a Trump TV network. Being a persistent thorn in the side to […]
FOX is throwing Trump under the bus now that he’s no longer useful. A split between FOX and the Trumpists would be great. A four-way ruling class splintering between Trumpists, neocons, neoliberals,and progressives is exactly what we need, hopefully with more splintering coming after that.
