This reminds me of that line I saw someone say once (which rang true) that something that makes Trump uniquely able to connect with low-information voters is that he is a low-information voter.

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

Trump’s Iran Con Put Us in the Covid Before Times Again Trump started an unwinnable war. We know what comes next. We just haven’t felt it yetβ€”the same way we hadn’t truly felt COVID in early March 2020.

The biggest way this is like Covid is that Trump has no idea how bad he’s fucking up. And no one he’s listening to will even try to tell him.

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

Good piece by Elias here. It puts into words something I’ve been unable to articulate.

Trump has discovered the equivalent of video games for all-powerful old men, which is watching people he doesn’t acknowledge as real carry out his order to kill each other on TV.

The below quote is from Hegseth's pastor, Brooks Potteiger, speaking at one of Hegseth's prayer gatherings at the Pentagon. This is what they think about Tomahawk missiles that fall:

Asked if the US attacked a desalination plant in Iran, Pres. Trump says Iranians are "among the most evil people ever on earth."
"They cut babies' heads offβ€”they chop women in half..."
"I know nothing about a desalinization plant, other than to say, if they're complaining about a desalinization plant, we complain about the fact they shouldn't be chopping babies' heads off."
Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth can be seen nodding in agreement.

A pretty clear demonstration here of how the lies told to sell the destruction of the Gaza Strip to the public helped to create the structure of impunity required to destroy as much as possible of other countries too
