Trump, unfortunately, means most of what he says. In this election, he has triggered the unfocused ire and unfounded grievances of millions of voters. Soon we will learn whether he can still trigger their decency—if there is any to be found. theatlantic.com/newsletters/…

Americans have done this to themselves during a time of peace, prosperity, and high living standards. An affluent society that thinks it is living in a hellscape is ripe for gulling by dictators who are willing to play along with such delusions. theatlantic.com/newsletters/…

The United States has the best economy in the world right now. Do we really want to disrupt our positive trajectory with giant tariffs, massive deportation, and a McCarthy-esque witch hunt for "enemies from within"? I don't.

His rallies today are remarkably empty.

"Bohemian Trumpsody" from @marshsongs may just be the best thing I've seen all day.
Not only are the lyrics spot on, but man they can saaaaaaang!
Donald Trump says he will
Prosecute his enemies
Order mass deportations
Use soldiers against citizens
Play politics with disasters
Abandon allies
Believe him.

This hellspawned MSG event is backfiring bigly
America is seeing in real time—on a famous American stage, no less—how ugly fascist hate is and candidly how un-American it both feels and is
This was a grievous campaign error and I hope he never recovers from it
