I also see it as a win, if only because I think the corporate press and the democratic party needs repudiation. If they didn't get the rebuke they deserved, it would validate their tactics and they'd continue down their destructive path.
Trump may or may not end up being good for classical liberal causes, but the path the Democratic Party and their media allies were heading down needed a course correction.
Thanks for sharing, friend.
Yeahz, I don't have much to quibble with here. This was written for a very different audience than the based peeps here on SN
we will see what he does. I am indeed relieved that it wasn't the other -- verifiably worst schmucks -- but still, politicians are politicians

Yeah, that makes sense. I've written things for different audiences and posted it here and it is wild the difference in responses.

And I mean this is a good way. One of the many reasons I rarely talk politics or economics with people in my life is that they don't have interesting thoughts on the topics. At best they repeat what they have been fed from media. They haven't read or thought deeply about these things. If I'm gonna disagree with people I'd rather learn something from the discussion than feel like I'm talking to a NPC.
And I say that with love. Some days I wish I didn't think about these topics and cared less. Found them less interesting. Life would be simpler.

I'm curious what kind of wild different responses you got and where you posted them.
I imagine most of what we talk about here on SN would get shouted down on Reddit

Wasn't political/economic. Was technical and I get privacy maximalist stuff here. That's the example I can recall.

Indeed, they need repudiation. Honestly, their tactics seem to me less effective over time. We are fully in a crisis of authority era and its their fault. Its a good thing but I don't think they are learning the right lessons. That's also good. Let them further destroy their credibility.
