There’s a storm coming. We all know it. And yet Americans are pretending that everything is normal.

We are going to be confronted with an existential crisis eleven months from now. And the majority of Americans don’t care

@InUnfunky @Jezibaba Thanks for sharing.

I’m not nearly as pessimistic as this piece. I still believe there are enough guard rails in place to keep powers in check. I also believe, based on this latest local and state elections, that we will vote and win again.

Then again, I have privilege coming out of my wazoo, so I’m likely wrong. I live in a place where I support every elected official of mine down to Dog Catcher. I don’t know hurt and pain going on most everywhere else.

Scary.

You're welcome!

I have 9 more WaPo freebies this month and 10 NYT so watch out.

I have some quibbles with Kagan's piece but otherwise felt like it was a powerful argument based in history, our current sociopolitical miasma, and a study of the very observable "will to deceive/believe," i.e. the Republican cult and their total devolution. Kagan is no raving lunatic; I bet he has a "Brookings Inst. 4-EVURR" tattoo.

My predix? Not sharing unless by DM. 🤔 🤷‍♂️ 🤓
