Donald Trump
2016
I just want to be clear about something: @realDonaldTrump is an *unacceptable* risk to take for merely breaking an evil SJW Overton window.
As Hillary is not listening, it's understandable many of you will vote Trump. I see his risk as existential. Please respect me as I do you.
I cannot seem to convey to fellow @HillaryClinton voters that painting all Trump voters as racist misogynistic idiots is offensive & wrong.
I assume journalism was once a thing that was crowded out by the thing now confusingly called journalism. It's time for us to reinvent it.
I don't think this is a massive shock to people who were thinking for themselves. It's a shock to anyone who outsourced to CNN/FOX/NYT/NPR.
@christinelu I'm feeling some pain & fear too. But many of my friends didn't take this seriously ... b/c they demonized those who disagreed.
@cosmos4u I think a lot of folks lied to themselves. Many got to the polling station thinking they would vote for HRC.... until in private.
Here's the silver lining. The same dumb analysis that told you Hillary was going to win is what told you Trump-nation is neo-nazi skinheads.

36 years of variation on a theme by Ronald W Reagan. Today, at 51, I'll go back to beginners' mind. History is restarting.
No time to lose.
As of today, my stance readjusts. Put simply:
Cooperation everywhere possible. Vigilance wherever necessary.
Thank you BHO Welcome DJT
@wobbles That I had no idea what the DJT payload would be b/c the campaign was a kayfabe work & trolling of PC. Now we're playing for keeps.
1st Tweet of the Trump era: It's time for we the technical classes (e.g. PhDs) to stop lying for our former institutional masters on policy.
2nd Tweet of the Trump era: We the technical classes must not begin lying to the new masters of our institutions to flatter their populism.
At some point, Pres. Trump will have to choose between high ability, totally loyalty & full staffing of our government. He can pick any two.

You just love this, don’t you? People are dead. Homes torched. The state is on fire. The air here is choked with smoke.
So this. Because, nobody else gets why this works?
I mean, I get it. But whatever you got for this, isn’t worth it. There’s no prize worth winning this way.
@SquawkieEagle Thx. This president says many things that *do* need to be said, but in ways that are opportunistic, simplistic, cruel, distorted, insensitive, incendiary and hyperbolic. Some are angry that he’s a bad liar, but I often think he’s really at his absolute worst as a truth teller.
@Ramsey_Payne I don’t think he loves the tragedy. I think he loves the fact that *if* there is a tragedy, *then* he can exploit it. He does this by telling a mixture of simplistic lies and truths together, and sticking it to his adversaries who don’t expect it because it’s such a dick move.
