There's a lot of blame being thrown around. But I think the fundamental reasons for Trump's win are far more structural than any one particular candidate, policy, or messaging approach.
Fantastic analysis. We need to get you and other great thinkers together to help understand these very challenging and complex problems we face and plan a way forward.
Appreciate the kind words, Ted! I’m going to be working with nonprofits and other journalists/experts in the coming months and years for sure. We all need to collaborate
I'm looking at sponsoring a round table of diverse analysts. Would love if you'd consider participating. It's in the embryonic planning stage now but I'd like to open a direct channel to discuss with you as it develops.
Yes, Ahmed. I hear you. And I’m hoping that we can manage a cross-party coalition with the many reasonable Republicans who have spoken out against this authoritarian trend. The outright lying which has been normalized is what has brought us to this debacle. And the video evidence of flip-floppers like McConnell and Graham should be spread far and wide. The Big Tent must be united to defeat fascism.
We’ll see. I worry Democrats will take the wrong lessons from this and end up abandoning parts of their big tent. This debate will play out over the next few years. The party could have a very different approach by next election
Well, I’m hoping for a concerted effort to stymie as much of the planned objectives of the first 100 days as possible. We have a lot of experienced government employees who can gum up the works if necessary. That’s why I’m calling for a resistance now.

Yeah I think a lot of civil servants will step up and there will be more court pushback than we anticipate. I think we can make it through this
With you on the job, my faith is restored! Keep up the good work, Sir.
Thank you Katharine! Your support has meant a lot to me
