Look, this is supposed to be a weekly Substack. I’m really not trying to clog your inbox everyday. But… I mean… sometimes things happen. For a couple of months now, I’ve had a running half-joke on Twitter that “this is simply NOT THE RIGHT TIME to decriminalize marijuana. October is the right time to legalize pot.”
Biden's superpower is that he truly has no fucks left to give. After a long, long, fight he has achieved his life's goal, and knows this is his last rodeo, whether he runs in 2024 or not. He is a Bizzaro Trump in a way, in that the limits and constraints pounded into professional politicians through decades of begging for money and votes no longer apply to him, just as they have never applied to Trump. He's looking at tactics to build a coalition without worrying about which donors or interest groups he's going to piss off. It's like living in a Frank Capra movie.
I'm sure that you have a year's worth of article topics, but I've yet to find anyone that will tackle the concept of how the US would look under 1-party (GOP, theocratic) control. People toss around words: post-democracy, post-truth, fascist, but how will people's daily lives be impacted? I honestly think that most people are either in denial or believe (wrongly) that they won't be impacted. People should be prepared for what's in store. I hope you'll consider tackling this potential future.
