"The persistence of wealth inequality across generations is ideologically inconsistent with the American dream. Reducing wealth inequality will help the United States live up to its cultural values of individualism, hard work, and meritocracy."

The Micro-Dynamics of Fascism

My latest op-ed in the Davis Enterprise explains how frighteningly easy it is for zealots to dishonestly manipulate information and reframe it online to scapegoat innocent people as monsters, whipping up violent anger against them.

I was thinking the same thing. It was an appropriately miserable little spectacle that made the leader of the strongest nation on Earth look like a little boy pretending to rule with toy soldiers.

The "us vs. them" dynamic of fascism encourages MAGA activists to view their political rivals as the enemy, justifying unethical distortions of the truth that dehumanize others - inviting violence against them.

Dear Republicans,

Agree. Also, the point is not to make MAGA vote Democrat. The few independents and Republicans who see through Trump's authoritarianism can make the case that the separation of powers, rule of law, blind justice, free speech, and pluralistic democracy are what truly make America great.
I guess what should really surprise is how long it took this country to mimic China and Russia. It was nice while it lasted.
When you aggressively assert executive power to change the content of museums to make an ideological point about how great America is, you may just be fundamentally misunderstanding the whole ideological point of America.

The entire Trump administration assumes that MAGA are essentially idiots and will believe anything. This scandal may be the one in which a hint of realization begins to seep through to some of Trump's base that the emperor has no clothes. Not that it will change their support for him, however.

The Dems and their allies need to think outside the box. They are spinning their wheels when they should be easily getting traction against Trump 2.0. Here is a free idea for a creative political communication team:

MAGA elevated Trump as their tribal totem. They canβt separate their own interests from his. Because they assume these interests are synonymous with the interests of the nation, they undermine pluralistic democracy and enable (even require) authoritarianism.
