Imagine walking by the cool kids' table and instead choosing to take a photo of these fascist dweebs.

Hide your kids. Hide your wife. Well, probably just your kids.

#NEWS: ExxonMobil opposes Trump’s plan to exit Paris Accord “We advocate for policy that accounts for security, affordability, reliability and environmental stewardship – not drastic changes that could hinder the progress being made today,” an ExxonMobil spokesperson said

I am reminded that the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with an average voter. Spending a whole five minutes with some of these people would be an argument against life itself.
.@AOC asked her followers who voted for both her and Trump what their reasoning was and posted their responses.

When she finds out about the failed Austrian painter it's going to be **epic**!
Holy shit, just found out the guy that founded my religion wrote a Book called “On the Jews and their Lies,” about forcibly converting Jews to Christianity through persecution. They, uh, didn’t mention this at Vacation Bible School 😬

It's starting to sound a lot like Trickle-Down Economics.
NEW: Trump plans fast action on a business-friendly agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and expanded energy production, his advisers tell @mikeallen and @JimVandeHei. His top ranks will be filled with billionaires, former CEOs, tech leaders and loyalists. trib.al/wzKJ5zI

Who would have ever thought that the guy Netanyahu preferred over the current US admin could be somehow worse for the Palestinians?
Representative of Israeli government tells us on @TimesRadio that the Trump administration will remove “restraint” from the Israelis and enable them to get the job done quicker.

This & some replies are akin to Skinner saying "Am I so out of touch? No, it is the children who are wrong." A different reading would be that liberals/progressives/etc need to start competing for this demog in the places they exist, not the places they wish this demog existed.
The 18-34 demographic shift to me is the most startling. At the risk of painting with a far-too broad brush, it's an entire generation that's trending toward post-literacy — that doesn't read full articles, doesn't read books, gets its information from bits and bobs of video while scrolling. This is true not just of young people, of course, but it's reshaping the political landscape.

So I guess Joe Biden gets to continue in his belief that only he can defeat Donald Trump. And Hilary Clinton gets to reassure herself that her loss was not due to anything about herself personally. So some silver linings for a couple of Dems.

It is clear that the post-lockdown global inflationary period has been an incumbency killer across the democratic world. @JustinTrudeau must consider a dramatic change of tactics if he doesn't want to sleepwalk Canada into a massive CPC majority next year. #Resign

Imagine seriously writing an article like this about any other President-elect. American democracy has failed bigly.

Trump will replace Alito and Thomas with middle-aged extremists. If something happens to Sotomayor, that'll be another Trumpist on the Supreme Court. And what if Trump just goes ahead and packs SCOTUS? A fundamentalist Christian theocracy in the US has never been closer.
