I'm for artisan cheese and democracy, not necessarily in that order.
I'm a big fan of Thomas Zimmer, a visiting professor of history at Georgetown who provides a really sharp analysis of the right wing's motivations. To get a synopsis of his latest thinking, I suggest listening to his recent interview on Leigh McGowan's PoliticsGirl podcast. https://pod.link/1595408601/episode/9752117bf625aefd1b6e00c9db6994cd
The PoliticsGirl Podcast

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo

@carlton Did you donate a building to the Rochester Institute of Technology?
I hope the archeologists of the next millennium appreciate us sealing up our trash in plastic bags for them.
Yesterday, Trump called for subverting the constitution and installing himself as a dictator, and Republicans are silent. Heather Cox Richardson's take is excellent as always. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-3-2022

Today, one of former president Trump’s messages on the struggling right-wing social media platform Truth Social went viral. In the message, Trump again insisted that the 2020 presidential election had been characterized by “MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION,” and suggested the country should “throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or…have a NEW ELECTION.”

Letters from an American
@carlton I’m literally working on a project right now that I thought would be out 2 years ago. Not proud of my abilities to estimate effort needed.
@glasnt I saw that you were elected to the DSF board. Congratulations!
@BrynnTannehill74 Why are you saying you have to delete your profile? I'm finding I can search for people by either their name or handle, even if they're on a different server, and then follow them by clicking the follow button.
@garius I wanted to join a server focusing on democracy. (I'm in favor. 😀 ), but democracy.town is closed to new sign ups. Any suggestions?
@kairyssdal Nothing to worry about. Probably someone was microwaving fish and they needed the weekend to ventilate.
