The irony is palpable: Trump´s main opponent in the GOP primaries is more protectionist than one of his advisors...

Weathervane
Trump suddenly has a lot of new friends. When Chris Christie turns again, we´ll know for sure The Donald will win.

Positiv attityd
Lite märkligt ändå att Nikki Haley citerar Josuas bok i GT (helt lösryckt från sammanhanget) när hon avslutar sin valkampanj med en uppmaning till "kvinnor och flickor" att "tro på sig själva". Eh?
Bara i Amerika.

Alabama Mama
So neither Donald Trump nor Nikki Haley endorse the recent decision of the Alabama Supreme Court to de facto ban IVF. Hmmm...
Maybe they both realize that the abortion issue does the GOP more harm than good. So better not support crazy over-reach.

The state of the Union
The United States in 2024: Nikki Haley couldn´t even win a state primary in which she literally ran unopposed!

Make America (and the world) NORMAL again
What if the true black swan of 2024 isn´t all the shit that will undoubtedly happen, but a creeping *normalization* of both politics, culture and "discourse" in general?
It may be very "impressonistic" to think in these terms, but I couldn´t help myself when faced with some of the recent news/hype.
For instance, Trump´s half-hidden call to increase financial support to Ukraine. Or NYT´s questioning of the trans agenda. Or the pushback against bizarre conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift. Perhaps Nikki Haley has captured a real mood with her new slogan "Make America NORMAL again". And what about the increasing support for nuclear power? Even the mainstreaming of opposition to mass immigration could be interpreted as a normalization of sorts...
I wonder what´s going on (if I´m right at all). Perhaps this is the fall out of the Israel-Hamas war, which effectively split the liberal coalition. The more moderate elements support Israel. The un-ironically Woke are useful idiots for Hamas. This, in turn, makes the moderates - and the common people - question the rest of Wokeness.
I see this normalization as a good thing, since abnormality probably isn´t a very good response to the crises ahead...

National unity or JFK situation?
People on X are seriously discussing whether or not Trump will appoint Nikki Haley as his running mate?!
Hmmm...

The beginning of the end?
Results from the GOP Iowa caucuses are in. With 95% of the votes counted, a certain Donald J Trump has finally left his Elba exile with 51% of the votes. DeSantis is second, Haley a close third behind DeSantis. Trump won in all counties except one, where Haley (barely) carried the day. I´m frankly surprised that The Don didn´t get even more votes! In a sense he did, since the 8% who voted for Vivek Ramaswamy are presumably also Trump supporters.
Wat means? In and of itself, nothing at all. However, I think it´s obvious how this is going to end. Trump will win the GOP primaries overall. If he will also be nominated or elected POTUS, remains to be seen.
It´s not impossible, obviously. But neither is a constitutional crisis. Or assassination...

"Anon, you worry about the cold weather in Iowa on caucus night, but what makes you think the virus is gone, or that both can´t work together with Nikki Haley?"
Frigid caucus night
Four years ago, a bloody virus might have affected the election outcome. This year, it could be the cold weather?!
American democracy at its finest best?
Iowa forecast predicts frigid caucus night with below-zero temperatures
