How To Save Democracy by Stopping Trump
Skewering the TDS industrial complex at The New Republic's Stop Trump Summit
Comrades: We must destroy democracy in order to save it.
On October 11, The New Republic hosted The Stop Trump Summit in NYC. They posted the entire 8-hour struggle session on YouTube. TNR’s YouTube has 3,300 subscribers (less than half the size of this humble samizdat), its Substack has 100 subscribers, and its Tweets rarely get any likes. They stopped reporting on circulation data in 2010 because it had dropped from 100,000 to 50,000 within a decade. The TDS industrial complex is waning, but the grift must continue. As Solzhenitsyn would say, “They grift, we know they're grifting, they know we know they're grifting but they keep grifting anyway.”
Despite devoting an entire day to stopping the candidate who is leading in the polls, they describe themselves as “an independent newsroom, we exercise the freedom to be skeptical of all policies regardless of party”:
The Stop Trump Summit lineup features the most demoralized, deranged people in America. It’s one thing to dislike Trump, but it’s exponentially worse to whip up and live off of TDS. I am here to subvert the subversion by naming and shaming them. In today’s post, I have updated the titles of each panel to more accurate descriptions along with photos of the lovely participants. Imagine focusing on orange man when senile man has overseen several disastrous wars and the ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Artsakh.

What can you do to end democracy? Give money to the grifters!
I just came back from a seminar in which an otherwise intelligent person said that he didn't vote for Trump and would do all he could to keep him from being elected. He later acknowledged that he liked Trump's policies but disliked the man. So, there you have it; elections are popularity contests. The competent need not apply.
Someone should've released aerosolized testosterone into the room to see what would happen.
