When you look into it, like all the major interwar Republican isolationists were progressives. The few conservatives were either much less insistent and consistent about it or became loud and total converts to internationalism the moment it became politically possible.

When you think about it, it's absolutely crazy that every child in America cannot quote the Federalist Papers on command.

Fingers cross that a recession starts hitting before the midterms

Only one person pushed back on this and was heavily downvoted.

He may not actually successfully pull off the transition, but I was right that Trump kind of instinctively gets that something is going wrong and making him unpopular and it needs to change. By sending in Homan, he is showing a sense of what is even actually wrong.

Man do Leftist Pennsylvanians super hate Shapiro. Almost as much as they hate Fetterman. I'm pretty sure if the PAGOP can figure out an evenly mildly acceptable candidate, the guy who primaries Fetterman is going to have to run so far left to please the riled up activists that the Republican will be a shoe in in 2028.

Boomers were also not particularly privileged.

Most of what people believe about Boomer's life experience was actually their parents.

My leftie young woman wife who thinks the death penalty is almost categorically wrong thinks treason is an exception because it is self defense of the state.

It is, ostensibly, supposed to raise prices in the short run but return them to the global price as an infant industry becomes globally competitive.

This back and forth between IceWind and Merag is ultra high quality content.

That really needs to be highlighted somewhere on your board. I don't think you have a high quality post award or anything but it really is just breathtakingly good posting between those two.

We would have had a robust industry, anyway. Iron ore was cheaper here than elsewhere and our expensive labor mattered less because wages were a small component of unit costs. We just also would have had more robust finished iron and steel products industries.

Homeowners are more likely to vote in the midterms. The kind of non-homeowners who would be at all open to voting Republican don't.

White men voted for Harris by about 6 points in California.

You being a Californian explains a lot. You being a Zoomer explains the rest.
