    Trump’s destabilizing “Liberation Day” has taken its toll on the coalition Andreessen helped shape. You can see it on X, where investors joke that they’ll put pronouns back in their bios in exchange for a return to the 2024 stock prices









  • The contradictions are sharpening no doubt, but so few people have internalized the reality of the current situation.

    Denial - most people are still here
    Bargaining - marginally aware people are here
    Anger - a lot of libs are stuck here
    Depression - many baby leftists
    Acceptance - leftists that actually might organize and do something
    

    Take for instance “the erosion of due process” that is animating libs very effectively. The problem is that this framing feeds into a Blue MAGA mind palace perspective. If they weren’t against Kamala et al due to the US prison industrial complex, they still are a long way from Acceptance of the reality. There are a lot of radlibs that are currently comparing the unfolding process to “USSR”, “Chinese Authoritarianism”, North Korea and so on.

    We have to filter out chauvinism while organizing for the current situation, then some real progress can be made.
