With all due respect, that respected professor sounds like a real asshole.

When establishment Dems lose: "Voters are stupid, it's all their fault. We don't have to change a thing - let's just keep moving right."
When progressives lose: "Clearly, nobody wants to vote for progressive policies. We have to move further to the right."

Reminds me of how a lot of dudes will be like "I'll die for my family!"
And it's like, "Okay, but will you do the dishes for your family? Because they don't need you to die, they need you to do the fucking dishes."

I discovered and subsequently binged this series like less than a month ago. It's such a pleasant surprise to hear that you're going to put out more!

Unlimited VC funding has been a predictable disaster.
Even when something actually useful pops out, they enshittify the hell out of it to squeeze out every last dime.

People who think they're too smart to be conned are the best marks. Once they've been suckered, they will refuse to believe they were tricked because their ego is at stake.
Acknowledging that you are just as vulnerable to propaganda as anyone else helps you stay on your guard, but even more importantly, it makes it much easier to realize if you are being manipulated. The sunk cost is much lower and easier to walk away from if you don't see it as a moral failure.

As far as the white establishment was concerned, one of the scariest things the Black Panthers did was their free breakfast for kids program.

"The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew."
Yeah, their security forces are going to beat that combination out of them on day 1.

I feel like there's a reasonable chance that his administration offs him to give themselves a ton of political capital. His incompetence and narcissism have been major impediments to ushering in fascism. He's been tolerated because of the popular support he has been able to drum up, but that's all.
However, his popularity has been waning and it's only getting worse. His cognitive decline is becoming harder to hide from the base. Realistically, how much more use can they squeeze out of him? How long before they decide that he'd be worth more to the movement as a martyr than as a fading demagogue?
They could stage it as an assassination by the left and use it as a pretense to push an authoritarian takeover. Worse, they know Democrats would give them a huge amount of leeway to do it out of a misguided sense of "unity and healing." We've already seen how they react to assassination attempts - Democrats bent over backwards to appease Republicans so as not to appear divisive.
I'm positive that, at the very least, these conversations have been happening within far right circles.

Part of what made those invasions so difficult is that they had Ukrainians to contend with.
