@thejapantimes Here is a highly worthwhile recent interview of Joe Klein and Chris Matthews about the 2024 Iowa Caucuses;

and in it, Klein talks about how the attitude of caucus goers has changed. He said he had not previously seen such anger. This is a standard part of the Trump MO, in which he does all he can to stir up anger and then he harps on how there is a lot of anger out there.

Big Head Tales

I’m don’t trust #Republicans, they’ve supported fascists and neo-Nazis for decades.

But it’s interesting that #IowaCaucuses numbers were depressed this year. I mean, I get it, it’s cold and snowy.

But it’s cold and snowy every winter in Iowa. It’s normal. I grew up where it gets bitterly cold every year. It doesn’t stop you. You’re used to it and you’re prepared for it.

I hope it’s a trend, I just don’t believe #GOP voters would suddenly turn away from their #FourthReich.

One takeaway from the #IowaCaucuses:
Never Back Down, the SuperPAC supporting Ron DeSantis "mocked the already weak regulatory framework governing money in campaigns", according to political scientist Barbara Trish of Iowa's Grinnell College

I read the breathless "horse race" coverage of the #IowaCaucuses in the #NYT. After all that breathless hoopla and a barrel of ink, in the last graph, it was divulged that 15% (110k of 720k) of Iowa Republicans voted in the caucuses. And, since 1980, the caucus winner won the nomination twice (Dole-1996, Bush-2000), and went on to win the presidency once.

This would be an abysmal turnout for even a local election.

#NewYorkTimes, do better.
