My approximation figure was always that keeping the death toll below 50,000 would ensure Trump’s reelection. U.S. national deaths between 50,000 and 100,000 in number would put his re-election in the Twilight Zone. Figures soaring above 100,000 would lead inexorably to defeat in November.
Why did author pick this particular pair of numbers? Why not 100,000 and 200,000?
I don't have to find some propagandists' puff piece to rattler off what Trump has done, and what Obama did. He was just as awful as George W. Bush, and Bush was awful.
Progress is progress
Obama was not a G W clone. Obama expanded medicaid and increased taxes on the wealthy to pay for it. That's something G W would never do.

Obama was hand selected to be his successor, by Bush. Obama is his 5th cousin.

What kind of a report do y’all need?
Social media created the feedback loop that drove everyone mad with social justice. Just like in the Chinese camp, the subtle but constant pressure to make cheap moralistic statements resulted in mass conversions. I believe this is the true cause of the "great awokening"
Most people want to appear compassionate. A political slogan, a bleeding heart story, these things that you spread virally, they change your self-image. And they leave you with evidence, public evidence, that you are the kind of person who speaks out about "systemic oppression"
But we should talk about black crime, because nothing will get better until black crime is acknowledged to be the biggest problem holding black people back.
Hence why I think police departments are just going to say fuck it at some point. Let them kill each other.
Not everyone took Peter Turchin seriously a decade ago when he said widespread civil unrest would sweep through the U.S. in 2020. “They had no reason to believe I wasn’t crazy,” says Turchin, a 63-year-old researcher who teaches cultural evolution at the University of Connecticut.
an elite asserting control in the name of a nationalistic vision, the secular substitute for the divine right of the absolutist monarch. The legal debates of late Weimar shed a troubling light on our situation.
