Truth doesn't matter as much as one's ability to shape narratives. Mark Robinson is suffering because he hasn't been able to effectively change the conversation like Trump can.

These kids probably have autism and spent their entire lives watching content on YouTube instead of socializing with friends because it's easier for the parents. It's easy to make fun of the kids here but there's probably a lot of parental mistakes that lead to this.

In the past few hours he almost got assassinated on his golf course, did a twitter space with 125k listeners, hosted a town hall with 8,000 people in attendance, became the first president to make a transaction using bitcoin, did a rally in New York and now he's on TV. Crazy schedule.

It's not that complicated. Miriam Adelson gave him millions of dollars to unconditionally support Israel and so he unconditionally supports Israel. It's the art of the deal. Trump is no stranger to leveraging Jewish money to make his plans happen in exchange for favors.

There's a serious tension between classical liberalism and democracy.

Liberalism basically sets a limit on democracy. It restricts the scope of how the will of the people may be exercised and effectively sets the "meta" rules we're not allowed to question.

A dictatorship can technically be democratic if it's popularly elected and represents the will of the people. A liberal republic can also deliver something that's extremely far away from what the people actually want. It's complicated. We forget how experimental our entire modern notion of politics is.
