Yeah, I thought Sam did a good job of noting the detriment of the Dem's support the trans activist community. That issue alone may have caused the loss though I still think Harris's answer as to how her policies might differ from Biden's was also pretty devastating.

He ended with a long litany of the damage Trump has done and all of Trump's inadequacies. Somehow he got stuck in the idea that anybody who voted for him was "fine with all of that". Sam became characteristically unable to see nuance, once his TDS kicked in.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Don't feel like finding it.
Can you summarize the litany?
The punch line goes something like this:
- Sam imagines there would have been a civil war if the election was close and Trump lost after Kamala made a late comeback.
- Sam blames Trump for that civil war.
My take? There wouldn't have been a civil war.
-
I think Sam was doing what a lot of never-Trumpers who wrote catastrophic checks leading up to the election, are doing. He's hedging his bets by concentrating on stuff that Trump has already done, and saying very little about what he thinks this upcoming administration will actually do. There'll be plenty of this subtle repositioning, as people prepare for any reputational hit they may take, if the next four years are successful.

Ezra was doing some more self reflection on his party and how it started losing minorities to Trump. He got into the nuts and bolts that I’ve only ever heard from conservative pundits. Like, in the rooms where Dem strategy happens, you’ll often have one person of color, and they’ll be given special deference, and they’ll be “speaking for their people”, but they’re not actually speaking for their people. They are just parroting progressive-approved identity politics, and it’s not necessarily resonant with the people they claim to represent, who aren’t in that room. (Because they have real jobs.)

Ezra Klein's wife sighting in Jon Stewart's most recent podcast. I'd never seen or heard her. Quite a lovely woman. And to the credit of the lefties engaged in this discussion, I didn't hear much in the way of insanity.
