I think the Democratic party is undergoing a massive shift thanks to Trump 2.0. The terrible popularity ratings and sinking registration numbers, I think, are coming from actual liberals and progressives who hate the centrist, milquetoast "Dem statesman" who yearns for bipartisanship and loves to vote with Republicans from time to time. Because no MAGA would ever look favorably on the Dem party. This is Dems against Dems and I think the progressives win out. I see liberals becoming more progressive by the day (I'm one of them). The pendulum is going to swing wide and the Democratic party will never look the same. In some ways it's exciting and I don't think it would have happened had there not been a Trump 2.0. But in many ways it's the only antidote to MAGA because there isn't a middle anymore. The old "we can sway some Republicans" belief is long dead. Actually, it's laughable. They've witnessed everything we have and are still ok with it.
yes, the markets are said to be responsive to real events, and even to respond to what they think will be the immediate future - which is clearly not going to be good. So have we been misled about the supposed 'truth telling' of the markets? Paul Krugman says on substack he thinks this predictive ability of markets is overrated. Perhaps the markets are determined to keep up share prices, no matter what happens?

McDonald’s is a donor to Project 2025. I don’t care what they charge for a combo, it will never be low enough.
(There’s an alphabetical written list of all of those donors under “more” in the video description)
