What are you doing?

Hello vauge question anon

Currently I'm writing.

Instead this time I'm not writing a tobecky story no one gets to see, but a tjohnson story no one gets to see. Man yeah I know I have a one track mind.

being bi is so confusing:

one minute you’re in high school drooling over a boy (man) you’ve been IN LOVE with since you saw him on tv when you were five

and the next you’re figuring out your own music taste and find out you’ve also been drooling over his mother because she’s patti lupone

but you can’t tell any of your friends because that would be weird, right? so you just hold it in and then randomly blurt it to your best friend in your twenties and she just rolls her eyes because “you would”

Trying to post more about things I'm just genuinely a fan of. Guys have you seen Joshua Johnson talking about the Kendrick Lamar halftime show? It's an hour comedy set that starts in on the halftime show at the 18 minute mark. It is the type of profundity I didn't know I needed to hear.

History Professor Allan Lichtman at American University, in conversation with Joshua Johnson, compared the Trump Republican Party with the Know Nothing Party of the 1850s.

Since the Civil War, starting new US parties which actually last and aren’t just vanity projects for those involved has resulted in a trail of political wreckage. An attempt to start a brand new party of anti-Trump Republicans would probably not be any more successful. 

The late political scientist Richard Hofstadter nailed it.

Third parties are like bees: once they have stung, they die.

Whether people like to hear this or not, the only way to beat lying Trumpist Republicans is by voting Democratic in large numbers.

Starting a new party may attract a few dissident Republicans, but it may also siphon away moderate voters from the Democrats. It’s those moderate suburbanites who helped put Joe Biden in the White House. Democrats control both chambers of Congress by very narrow margins. Few sane people would want Trumpists Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene to become committee chairs under a Speaker Kevin McCarthy. 

If Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, and the other high profile dissident Republicans want to squeeze Trumpness out of the GOP then they need to effectively wreck the party and still be around to pick up the pieces of what’s left.

To recycle a phrase from the Vietnam War, they need to destroy the party in order to save it. Trump is so insinuated into the party that only a long series of stinging defeats will make what’s left of the GOP come to its senses.
