America

Starting to wonder if JD Vance is playing a long game to get into the white house by larping as MAGA.

I guess it shouldn’t be surprising Trump quickly forgets past statements if you bend the knee given he has no moral integrity, but “America’s Hitler” is a doozy.

“it’s been 45 days and i still don’t know what maga means”

Maybe true for most of them, but I can name many politicians who consistently demonstrate integrity. It’s easier to reduce them all to a cynical caricature.

Nothing this deep. Politicians are just swinging pendulums in their subjective game theoretic evaluations. 

People say extreme things to signal alignment with certain cohorts and values. When the incentives maths changes, they change back. Words don’t mean much to them.

Yeah, the lack of integrity seems to be coming from inside the house

There is no collective memory even for politicians

a simpler theory is that ambition reshapes views

power corrupts

The only game to play in politics is the long game
