David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.
Trump primarily mobilizes White people and men. Wins handily. After the election, Democratic pundits say mobilizing “identity groups” don’t work and “failed miserably,” erasing Trump’s mobilization of White and male identity groups. Instead, they claim Trump prevailed with a “working class coalition,” erasing the women and Black people who are disproportionately working class. Double erasure.
To be racist and sexist is to erase the presence of Black people, of women—and center White identity and male identity so profoundly that White people and men are no longer seen as “identity groups.”

@DoctorJonPaul Youre not wrong about that at all, but also this map is inaccurate bc there’s still a lot of votes to count and could change how it looks in the end when all the votes are counted
Folks, don't do this. Lots of votes have yet to be counted. There aren't 20 million fewer votes.
@ElectProject calculates 158.5 million ballots cast.
Total turnout in 2020: 159.7 million.
Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/
In recent years many states have outlawed ALL forms of slavery — including Alabama, Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont.
It looks like California will not be joining this list, and we should be ashamed.
okay, some final thoughts: you’re going to see a lot of shoddy post-election analysis over the next few days. Oh, this specific demographic cost Harris the election, turnout was down with this other group, etc etc. The truth is, we won’t have good data on any of that for a while
White hosts tripping over themselves to explain the Latino and Latina vote while not having one Latino or Latina host in their newsroom while neglecting to mention that the majority of white men and women voted for Trump 📌

Today’s season finale of America is going to be crazy. We’re waiting to find out if it gets renewed for another season or if the series ends. Every episode has been a cliffhanger this season, but vote blue and we can finish strong! #ElectionDay#Harris_Walz2024
I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm
