@davehopkins.bsky.socialA lot correlates w/ this theory of 2026: Iran opposition pragmatic w/o culture war valence. Trump II allied w/ world's richest man. Elite institutions more accommodating of Trump II than of Trump I. Many Trump II pet issues don't polarize cuz nobody likes them: arch, ballroom, Greenland, Canada.
Show PostDave Hopkins argues that even without much of a "Resistance II" Trump became unpopular and Dems will win the midterms. There is a parallel in the Iraq War becoming unpopular and the Iran War never being popular without anything like the 1960s Antiwar Movement emerging in either case.
Show PostIs this another outcome of educational polarization? @davehopkins.bsky.social @mattgrossmann.bsky.social
