We SHALL survive Trump. It has taken a while for thinkers to figure it out and articulate the point, but I'm more optimistic now than I have been since election day. https://wapo.st/4g8CYkZ
Nice that WaPo believes in democracy when it is too late to keep the barbarians on the outside. The WaPo of the 70’s knew how to keep democracy. Now it’s a shell and a joke.
Tell that to Rupert, but you are right. It was a cabal with Rupert, Ronnie, and a host of like-minded ideologues intent on that permanent Repub majority that Mitch did a bang-up job on.
Steve ~ I Googled "are Eva Bellin and Kurt Weyland Trump supporters" and did not get any answer except the article you mention, which does not answer the question. Does anyone here know the answer? It still gets me that 50% of voters did not vote for Trump and I still love what Heather said on Nov. 18 "Claiming they have a mandate, Trump’s people have said they are launching “a hostile takeover” of the American government “on behalf of the American people.” But as voting numbers continue to come in, Trump’s majority has fallen below 50% of voters, meaning that more voters chose someone else than chose Trump on November 5. These results are far from being in “mandate” territory."
The KEY, in my mind, is that he is ALL bluster and prevarication. He has OFTEN, for example, threatened to sue people who have said things about him that he didn't like... i.e. David Cay Johnston. But how often has he followed through? IF he has sued such people (and to my knowledge, he has NOT sued Johnston, the "dean of Trumpologists") has he ever won a court case forcing anyone to take back any such criticism? Emphatically NO.
Don't be afraid. Be confident. Demand, in writing, in letters to editors, for example, that WaPo and every other "news" enterprise, tell the truth about his claims.
Being afraid is a mindset which looks to me a lot like "obeying in advance." Which Timothy Snyder encourages people NOT to do.
I certainly share Jim's sentiments. Your insights, but also your encouragement and clear thinking advice how to get through what lies ahead, are so appreciated. (I saw a quote recently that read: lying and stupidity are species ending characteristics- to be determined.) The photo you posted is gorgeous. Same to you and Buddy.

Except for Jennifer Rubin, Catherine Rampell, Dana Milbank...
109% agree, our heroes are brave and I hope recognized by their employers as more than a crumb thrown to the losers.
And much of the staff!
Caution! "They" are never really a single minded beast.

Interesting to 'have a mandate' and need to launch 'a hostile takeover' of the American government at the same time -- not exactly rational....

It's an "alternative mandate"
Indeed, VERY far from a mandate. That won't keep him and his backers from claiming they have an overwhelming mandate. Here's another important piece of academic reporting. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-a-nation-embraces-a-false-reality/
WP failed to endorse Harris. I am afraid medias will be quiet。
