“Trump’s authoritarian assault has decimated our institutions that ‘kitchen table’ issues won’t fix.” [editor’s note: The analogy to post-Civil-War “Reconstruction” sucks. The first time around, its whole point was to rebuild a bad former system minus only one bad feature (slavery), and the emergence of Jim Crow afterward marked even that subtraction at least partly a failure. Trying to “reconstruct” a crappy pre-Trump politics is a terrible idea, and the only good thing about it is that it won’t work either – TLK] (06/17/26)
