Today in Fascism

No surprises here. A “echo chamber” with a “collectivist ideology that unites them”

Husker and E like to pretend Rs are the crazy one.

Ds are shedding men at a fast rate.

Here is polling showing just about every demographic moving away from Ds. It is because the D party is increasingly out of touch with what the average American wants/needs/believes.

Everyday is a new day. Trump is shedding overall support across the board. Well at least amongst the aware and capable of individual thought.

The president himself told reporters exactly who advised him to go to war. The list says everything.

During a press conference on March 9, 2026, Donald Trump told reporters that his decision to launch Operation Epic Fury against Iran was shaped by conversations with Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio. Not one active military commander was mentioned. Marianne Williamson highlighted this in a widely shared statement, pointing out that Trump had purged senior military leadership the year before and then launched a major war without traditional military consultation.

The criticism cuts deeper than politics. Witkoff is a real estate investor turned special envoy. Kushner is Trump's son-in-law with no military background. Hegseth, the Defense Secretary, is a former Fox News host. Rubio is a senator turned diplomat. While each holds an official role, none carries the operational military expertise that previous presidents relied on before committing troops to combat.

The Iran war has already killed U.S. service members, closed the Strait of Hormuz, and triggered global oil price spikes. Whether the absence of military commanders in the decision-making process contributed to the escalation is a question that will define how this war is remembered.

Rs are still scoring most heavily with the "no college degree" crowd.

Missing data -- "no high school" and whatever dimension the independents and other parties are in.

The important part that you are ignoring is....all demographics are moving away from Ds. That would include independents. Remember polling is by demographic.

It's called elitism.

When I was responsible for hiring at my firm, I rarely hired a straight A student. I always chose the B student that worked through college. I certainly didn't give a F where the kid graduated from college. Street smarts always beats book smarts. I've worked with both brilliant and stupid as shit MBA's from schools like Stanford and Wharton.

Education is a big mess, especially in CA. Fraud everywhere and where fraud is, kickbacks will be in the pay for play game. California blocked my kid from higher education because Gavin & Dad4 mandated jabs or no entry. I lost everything because of these bandits.
