It's cool to see the media finally start talking about the scary shit Trump has been saying at every rally and taking it maybe a little seriously for the first time. Now that voting is over.

The U.S. is ABSOLUTELY a racist, misogynist, classist and [name your]-ist nation both in terms of systems and individuals but "ah well, we couldn't have done more, this should have been a gimme" is a wild fucking take

my country elected a fascist 10 years ago and he's now arguably the most unpopular pm we've ever had and we still can't get rid of him because once a fascist gets into power, typically you do not get them out without a whole lot of mass violence. Don't be like us.

But in a functioning democracy, this should not be necessary. There should be no issue with her absentee ballot - and the stakes in this election should not be so high that she felt like she needed to fly across the ocean.
This is a sign of crisis.
Personally, I think it's Bad that a foreign dictator aligned with one of our major political parties is calling in bomb threats to majority Black voting sites.

Iowa had abortion protected by its state courts. Then, just *days* before Dobbs, the Iowa's state supreme court struck that right down.
The GOP passed a 6-week abortion ban. It was upheld by the state supreme court this summer.
This is the first election since that ruling.

If you're seeing what I'm seeing, the imagery in state rep races, depicting women behind bars, has been more powerful than some national ads. It's constant, and this is in supposedly safe Michigan.
This is the most normie thing I will say all year: this is the first time politics have felt like they did before it all became about Trump, by no means perfect, but far less septic.

If I may be embarrassingly sincere for a moment - and maybe even a little "cringe" as the kids used to say two years ago! - I think we all take Paul Krugman for granted.
