Sher’s optimistic comment for the day:
Read interviews of people at DJT’s rally. They follow those rallies like concerts to have a good time. All had been to his rallies multiple times. 112 for one man. SO, if we divide each crowd size by 100 to guestimate actual followers…
@alixabeth My theory is that right wing Christian Nationists have a NIMBY approach to restricting rights. Legislate others’ rights at the federal level and make sure you can do what you want at the local level.
@neal_katyal Sometimes you find out that a doctor is also a serial killer.
Sometimes you find out that a lawyer is also a Burning Man guy.
The things you don’t know..

If I say I will build a border wall I will do it. If I promise to a better environmental deal I will do it. If I promise federal investment in school choice I will do it. Trump promises and reneges, hoping voters will remember the promises and forget they never got done.

I honor the democratic institutions that make our country great and keep us free citizens. Unlike Trump, I will never twist those institutions to pursue my own power.
6/8
I follow through on my promises. If I say I’m going to release an irrefutable report showing election fraud I will do it. If I say I’m going to release a health care plan in two weeks I will do it. If I say I will bring down prescription drug prices I will do it…
5/8
if Trump shows up). I will do what I say and say what I do when I become president. Trump is like a fickle guest who refuses an invitation then shows up and demands a special place at the table.

Here I am, engaging with other candidates for the same job. I am willing to lay out my ideas in an arena where they can be immediately questioned. I am not afraid to deal with the competition.
2/6
I am like Trump in that I support conservative policies. I am different from him in that my fealty is to policy goals and the constitution—not my own power.
I respect the American voter. Trump uses you. Who do you want as president, someone who respects or uses you?.
When I tweeted/xed my last post and tagged @elonmusk I discovered that I followed them. Since I never did this myself, does every person on Twitter/X follow them giving them a worldwide microphone?
Am I the only person who thinks that Elon Musk is dismantling Twitter/X on purpose to destroy any semblance of public scientific fora and social discourse?
What’s the goal, @elonmusk?
