A year after Trump won, why won't Democrats change their playbook? | Norman Solomon

Democrats enabled Donald Trump to become president twice because of repetition compulsions that still propel the party's leaders undermining the party's potential to end the real-life nightmare of Maga control over the federal government. Scrutinizing how this century's Democratic leaders set the stage for Trump's electoral triumphs is crucial not only for clarity about the past. It also makes possible a vital focus on how such failures can be avoided in the future.

Oh Good, Now Trump Has an Actual Gold Crown

The first honest American president

Trump's shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment. Every era of American government has had its scandal. Trump's innovation is to make scandal itself a governing philosophy. Although it is tempting to see the Trump regime's corruption its open profiteering, its use of the state as an instrument of vengeance and self-enrichment as a perversion of American democracy, the truth is more unsettling: it's a mirror.
