The 28-pt shift among Dads towards Democrats in the Fox poll doesn’t appear to be a blip. It happened consistently, over time: May to June: +11D May to July: +17D May to August: +28D Any predictions on how far this could go by November? 💃

‘It’s some other element who showed up and compromised the protest and unfortunately we now have to shut the whole thing down.’ Same playbook since George Wallace. This isn’t to say some ppl who don’t go to these schools don’t show up, but ‘outside agitator’ narrative is almost

I can’t believe I have to clarify this, but these conditions are why you should do everything to loosen the grip these institutions have on everything. Tax them out of existence bc they actually do maintain and confer elite status. If they didn’t work it wouldn’t matter.

Here’s the thing you have to remember about Duke. It’s not about being a great basketball coach. It’s about teaching young men how to become leaders in everything they do.

The level of anger about the Sonics among the Seattle sports fan actually gets underplayed. They are rightfully still pissed about what was one of the worst moments in the history of the NBA.

This is not to endorse self immolation (I absolutely do not) but to simply point out that the most mainstream American politicians have classified such an act as political. And not just as mental illness or memes or the fantasies of the ‘online left.’

Nobody should support a system that asks students to ‘become’ their racial trauma or just invent it to access a tiny number of spots that 99.9999% of ppl will never even sniff. Blame ed Blum if you want but maybe it was time to look under the hood at what this thing actually was.
