You, a stale center left pundit: "Noooo, you cannot call Trump fascist, that's historically inaccurate!"
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs: "Wow these fuckers are just like Nazis, let's do a National Salvation Junta and protect democracy!"
These guys were so good at reading the room that the military leaders they were counting on to secure power for them were calling them Nazis behind their backs and planning a counter-coup against them

When Trump's approvals were tanking we were subjected to dozens of profiles of voters who still stopped by him, of course now it's the other way around.
New from me: "I don't think I would ever vote Democrat again."
Talked to Biden voters who responded to our ABC/ WaPo poll and think the economy is in subpar shape.
They don't think he's doing enough-- and they're ready to jump ship in 2022.

"why is all people want talk about the consequences of my preferred policy?"
Ask yourself: Why are ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage the only things abortion supporters want to debate right now? Dobbs ended 50 years of abortion on demand, and instead of advocating legal abortion, they’re very busy talking about things we all know aren’t abortion.

What annoys me a little regarding the discourse about current protests is that all sides trying to portray them as these massive never-before events (the 68 comparisons!!), when they really completely pale to what happened only 4 years ago
Summer 2020: Trump ordered federal BORTAC paramilitary troops into Portland against the wishes of mayor and governor, in camo without agency ID, nametags, or badges, grabbing protestors and bystanders off the street into unmarked vans w/o explanation

Yeah this is absolutely not what happened, cringe liberal wine moms were right while the left was podcasting about how Dems suck and we need to use slurs to appeal to the working class.
Look where most of the left ended up, either post left reactionary weirdness or contrarianism
The left has been correct about the character & trajectory of the right, for years. The center-left & center-right, by contrast, have been repeatedly & fatefully wrong about it.
I wonder if this will prompt any self-reflection.

It's amazing that four years of the actual existing Trump administration have been completely memory-holed, otherwise you would not say stuff like this:
Fifty years of policy that exported American manufacturing, ravaged the middle class, produced a widening gyre of inequality, devastated labor unions, led to an opioid epidemic, reversed the historical rule of rising life expectancy in developed nations, seems pretty real to me.
