““And, if we're in a country where, you know, the people who get to pick the president want it to be Trump, there's just not much you can do about that.

I mean, I am, it makes me so sad, and it makes me kind of repulsed and disappointed and angry, but, I mean, I don't know if that's, if that's the way it is. You can't really go around arguing anymore. Oh, well, they didn't know, you know, they just knew him from TV.

People know, and a lot of people love it. And I think that's horrifying and something we're going to have to wrangle with”

I listened to this podcast today: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/podcasts/the-josh-marshall-podcast/ep-345-the-case-for-optimism/

I always enjoy these because while Josh Marshall is a realist, he also talks about how optimism as a way of life rather than some sort of pollyannish/Mary Baker Eddy, "I'm just going to be positive and everything will be great" mentality, but rather it raises the possibilities for better outcomes.

It's also better for your mental health—we all have to pull together to win this.

"... I think if you look ... we are moving into this political era where instead of left and right parties you have civic democracy parties and right-wing populist authoritarian parties."

Ukraine & Philadelphia Roll:

"And everyone thinks Ukraine's national dish is borscht. But what I've actually realized is that Ukraine's national dish is really the Philadelphia Roll. OK, Ukrainians are obsessed with sushi, but, they're like weirdly and uniquely obsessed with the Philadelphia Roll in particular." 🍣 🍥 😅
