> and most criminals don't have access to guns here so crime is less scary to me

I'm the parent and you did an excellent job of clarifying what I was trying to say.

I do want to respond to this statement, however, since I'm Canadian and in one of those countries where abortion is federally protected (and Canadians strongly favour that across partisan lines for the most part) and I live in what used to be one of the safest cities in Canada.

10 - 20 years ago, homicide was virtually unheard of in our city. I mean, it was like a once in a decade event and almost always domestic violence. Today, we can't go a week without hearing about another stabbing or shooting that happened out in public.

Recently our street saw every single vehicle broken into, including ours. We all filed police reports but no one ever showed up or even gave us a follow up call. The message was clear: the police either don't have the capacity or just don't care to deal with certain crimes now. To contrast, I remember my house being broken into when I was around 13 or 14 years-old, so mid 1990s, and I remember watching the detective powder the windows for prints.

Times have changed here in scary ways. We pay the same taxes and have the same expectations of our government as we always did. Canadians value the social safety nets and gun regulations that we have. The problem is that those don't seem to be working as well as they used to. We earn less due to inflation, pay the same or higher taxes, and get less in return. Most of us know of people who travel to the USA for health care due to our long waiting lists while hearing from Americans how great our free health care is.
Pretending that Republicans aren't far right is just disingenuous. The democrats are solidly right and America doesn't have a left.
People really don’t understand interwar period Germany, and helpfully pluck out a narrative that suits their interests today. Treaty of Versailles and “dolchstoss” myth included.

Thank you for sharing the truth. It’s worth understanding why Hindenburg chose Hitler as Chancellor, too. Hitler was popular, and seen as a useful force that might be controlled by the conservative elements of the German political system. It didn’t work out that way.

There’s no contemporary analogue to Hitler today in American politics. There’s no significant paramilitary force, for one. No true populist — in spite of trump’s rhetoric his policies don’t qualify.

Ironically, the closest to fitting the mold might be Vance? Somebody unelected, young, brokered his own access to power in exchange for political support (via Elon, Thiel).

> all he wants is attention, he does not have an ideology

This is not demonstrably true. He's had a consistent ideology since the beginning- MAGA and now MAHA too.

I used to think Trump was shallow, for maybe a few months in 2015. The problem with that is if you think Trump is shallow, it means all the people who voted for him and love him are stupid. In fact, you implied you think this:

> This is just basic 2nd order reasoning that it seems like so many people in this country lack.

Your operating philosophy cannot be that everyone who disagrees with you is stupid.

Your point about supplicants can be equally applied to Kamala.
> It's mostly people who think the world must be a certain sanitized way and if you tell them the reality is otherwise they must suppress you to preserve their world view which they see as being the ritcheous one.

With regards to camaraderie and banter, I don't even want to talk about world views. I genuinely don't think they matter too much in that context. Really what I'm sick of is just a lack of any attempt to make a connection whatsoever. I don't need to align with a person politically or socially to build a connection and have good workplace banter. There's just such a fundamental unwillingness to do so, in my experience. That's what bugs me.

And I know the difference. I've been in both blue collar and white collar environments. Blue collar people look to build the connection and bond together almost immediately, just about every time. There's a period of 'feeling each other out' when you start on a new job or with a new coworker so that they can suss out _how to connect with you_. That's right: it's such a first-class citizen to their working relationships that there's an entire art form to initiating it.

Contrasting with the white collar environment... it's almost non-existent, unless you work with people who, ironically, come from blue collar environments. I think it's really sad, and I think we could benefit from being a little looser. I don't think that means we need to drag any contentious topics in, nor do I think it means that we need to drag ourselves into un-professionalism. There's just something to be said for being able to be goofy and chat with coworkers that seems to be lost on the white collar environment.

Harmony is the strength and support of all institutions. Banter and camaraderie build that harmony.

But still haven’t matched productivity gains since the 1970s[0]

Everyone likes to point this out like it somehow made up for all the wage stagnation of the last 40 years and it most definitely did not.

Not to mention these wage gains are slowing fast.

Far-right is well defined globally. Few core values: nationalism, authoritarianism, anti-socialism, economic libertarianism, racial and gender hierarchies, anti-establishment sentiments.

If you think a party is ticking many boxes, you may label it as "far-right".

I definitely agree on the first two, less sure about the later two.

Those with plenty of money may be choosing to park it in stocks, but higher prices mean more people don't have that expendable cash. I'd be really surprised if younger people feeling the most pain from housing prices have a broker at all.
Slightly off topic, but what's the difference between North African and Arab? Are Egyptians, Algerians, Libyans etc not real Arabs? How are they classified technically speaking?
We (Americans) are so used to just picking up and moving within the country, and seeing so many people move here, that we just assume we can pick up and (legally) move anywhere in the world.

Moving somewhere is very different than being a tourist, or an extended stay.

do you remember a time when the republicans were even keeled and tempered and the democrats kept calling them hitler, nazis, facists, and so on? I certainly remember.

The only way to counter this message is to stop with the hate speech. Like the parent above said. Even independents are tired of it now.

Of course likely the left will again ignore the warnings and continue on so I’m quite anxious to see what 2026 and 2028 bring.

All I know is in the UK it's not uncommon for jobs to get thousands of applications. I'm pretty confident the immigration is hitting the supply side more than demand. Most of this immigration is from low skilled workers on poverty wages, I'm struggling to see how this would massively increase demand elsewhere in the labour market.

Since immigration started increasing in the late 90's wages have been stagnant. Correlation doesn't equal causation, but hmm.

> Alas if I recall Trump managed to have ultimate responsibility for that fiasco occur under Biden's watch on account of losing the 2020 election. Whoops.

Yes, he was completely out negotiated by terrorists and his successor had to clean up the gigantic pile of poop that leaked from Trumps diaper.

Not much Biden could have done about this.
Well that's interesting. I live in a very red area and have never heard this. At best I could hear it said as a joke, I don't know anyone that would actually think we should do that.
As incredibly disappointing as that is to me, the fact is this is only the 2nd time the Reps have won the popular vote.

In other words the US leans left and Reps only win because of the electoral system.
As a foreigner, it seems like both sides are super extremely marginalised. Both sides believe everything will be done and there will be a big change if the other side wins. Reality is really not that radical, people are being lit up by propoganda. Saying this as a Turkish person, this has been happening in our country almost since I was born and it destroyed politics, normalisation and being calm is much better than sensationalising everything. Imho biggest issues are related to economics, like housing, like dark money in elections. Meaningless topics are sensationalised to marginalise people and unfortunately it works every time. Politics shouldn’t be right vs left, it should be rich vs middle class vs poor, as economics is the single most impactful aspect on most people’s lives. But politicians want to rile everyone up and put them against each other.

Yup. The folks I know who embraced MAGA were all going through difficult emotional issues. It seemed to give them something they could rally around (i.e., bond with others to blame democrats, migrants, trans people, et al, for their problems)
“Ask HN: So who did you vote for?”
It's really all about control of the courts. They can, for all intents and purposes, throw laws away, inclusive sections of the constitution with little to no recourse without a level of control of the legislative branch that is extremely rare.

Given that congress is so naturally weak, the most important part of it is the senate's role in federal judicial appointments.
Quibble on the numbers, not on the basic statement. I'm not sure that campaign promises such as suspending the Constitution, jailing political opponents, etc., really are only 0.1% worse than continuing the Republic as it has operated for nearly 250 years. Looking back a few years from now, we may find a delta of 0.2%, 0.5%, or possibly even more.
There's an economic component, and an emotional component.

Economically, inflation hurt. Real wages may have come up to compensate, but you get the inflation first, and then, some time later, then you get the wage increases. It still hurts. Even if the wages increase more, it still takes some time to recover.

Emotionally, it's not just the pain (and the remembered pain) from the inflation. It's Clinton calling people "deplorables". It's Biden calling them "garbage". It's the feeling that the Democrats have abandoned the working-class people - abandoned them for a couple of decades, in fact.

Trump speaks those peoples' language. He understand their sense of rejection and abandonment. Those are the people that the Democratic party claimed to champion, but the party took their support for granted, and championed a bunch of identity causes that the working class doesn't identify with at all.

Turns out ignoring and insulting your long-term base isn't a good way to win.
This is the most likely explaination imo. But even then it should be possible to use bayes rule to price it into the result.
Citizens United was literally about citizens showing a film critical of a political candidate. It’s one of the purest examples of free political speech there is.

I share your concern about the lack of seriousness with which many seem to regard the Capitol riot, which is a black stain on our history.
Maybe, at which point I expect their being pretty hypocritical. I wouldn't begin to say one side of either war is in the absolute right or wrong though. War is messy, terrible, and bloody. It'd never as simply as right vs wrong or good vs evil.
The economic term-of-art is the GINI coefficient. And, yeah, the US's GINI is crazy.

No they don't. Why didn't Russia do anything when the Baltics were in the process of joining NATO? If they had plans for them, they were going to do it before they joined the biggest defense alliance.

If you think this is like Germany 90 years ago, I recommend you read up some history.
> That stance always seemed very confusing to me as a non-US person.

Europeans seem to overestimate how close America is to Europe.

If you live in the Western half of the United States, Asia is much closer than Eastern Europe, most US military deployments are in the Pacific, and most foreign trade the US has is with Asia.

Both parties campaigned on leaving the Middle East, but it is difficult to disengage from the region without devolving power to a regional ally (similar to how the US historically let France take the reigns on African relations). Historically, that ally has been Israel and Turkiye, but relations between the US and them have fallen precipitously.
I can't agree this only shows the game theory sometimes fails because despite almost all the advantage to select one version of a thing vs another, often an group or individual will go against their own best interests because of pure emotion. When an option is a little bit better than the previous version of itself and the other option is complete failure of the system with the system destroying itself (democracy) then the winning group loses along with the "losing" group.
The average person sees grocery costs rising, and is unable to move because they can’t replace the interest rate on the loan they have. This feels quite squeezing.
It wasn't surprising based on the polls, no, but I'm fairly sure the "what are you doing?" was intended as a "what's wrong with you?" (or: "I don't understand what you're doing") rather than "I'm surprised". I'm pretty sure plenty of Americans are also asking "what's wrong with us?" – I believe Obama said pretty much that earlier this week or last week.
if Biden will sign a decree to welcome everyone and every migrant would be legal, people still won't like it. people want to reduce immigration, legal or illegal.
The US will back Taiwan once musk tells trump that's where the AI chips come from. After that there will be no guarantees.

> and a bigot non-stop I'd probably say "fuck it" and vote for the guy too.

And most people would say that would categorize you as mentally deficient. Voting against your own best interests because you feel people are mean to you isn't usually seen as very intelligent.
Technically this isn't a rotation; as I recall, the last attempted rotation was a fiasco?
Re: “look out for your wife”: I’m going to say the unpopular but perhaps true thing… there are limits even to the amount of reproductive freedom society can grant women while being able to sustain a replacement rate that keeps it alive, and even women know it. I have been having a small but increasing number of conversations where people are absolutely questioning whether we’ve over-indexed on trying to sell women this “be just like the salary men no consequences” narrative—with women who were all about reproductive freedom in their 20s and all of a sudden they are 35, have a great job, but can’t easily have kids anymore, feel unfulfilled and feel like they were lied to. It’s real even if it’s not how you specifically feel. I don’t have the answer but I think the almost anti-child democrat narrative, which Kamala dialed to 11, really really misses the beauty and wonder of childbirth and frankly the core need society has to actively and healthily sustain itself (which simply cannot be done via import). We don’t all work and make money just to die, do we? Humans are programmed to build legacy.

I say this because I fundamentally believe that Democrats need an answer for this if they want to remain relevant. You can’t milk reproductive freedom for eternity. Americans want the focus to shift back to a more nuanced and biologically adapted conversation around sustainable social narrative. That or we need mechanical wombs.
It's worth keeping in mind that inflation is a theoretical construct based on assumptions and formulas that may not apply for every individual or subpopulation.
About 43% of the energy. But its also worse than that because Mars has a more eccentric orbit and slightly bigger axial tilt. Seasonal variations in solar energy are thus much larger than on Earth (at perihelion you get around 700W/m2, at aphelion about 500W/m2). Also seasons are longer on Mars and the planet moves more slowly around perihelion, so that it spends more time further from the Sun.

You also get global dust storms enveloping the planet every few years for several weeks at a time. These leave a lot of dust on panels, but they also drastically cut the solar radiation received at the surface.

Solar panels degrade faster on Mars too. You could replace them by sending new ones, but that will add up to a lot of mass. Or you could design panels that degrade more slowly, but that's not a given yet.

Basically solar is not going to scale well on Mars. It might work for a small facility, but not for a city.
> Some Enum features work differently (incompatible) in Python 3.11.x versions.

I know that Python 3.11 added some things, like StrEnum; those obviously won't work on older Python versions. But I'm not aware of things that work in a certain Python 3 version but don't work in newer ones. You're even talking about incompatibilities between different 3.11.x versions? Can you give some more detail on that?
Conservative counties produce goods and food that can be produced anywhere.

Democratic counties produce goods that generally require an education and are significantly more valuable. Think big tech, big pharma, engineering, etc.

Democratic counties would be just fine without conservative counties. The inverse is not true.

I'm sure we'll see a flourishing of the working class under the Republicans, then. We'll see Trump going to bat for unions in their fights against Corporate America, we'll see minimum wage increases throughout the country, maternal leave, and much more.

Or, people have fallen for a demagogue selling them a cheap lie (it's not corporate America keeping you in low paying jobs despite massive productivity and profitability, it's those damn immigrants stealing your jobs!).
The desire for Trump to remain a marketable symbol without actually having him rule is one of the only taboos left. I suspect the hardest he has ever listened was when Pompeo described precisely the box he was allowed to think in.

This lack of evidence thing is old and still doesn’t work.

I certainly remember hateful women lambasting men, including myself, for things like saying a woman is attractive.

Also Obama just said:
"[P]art of it makes me think, and I’m speaking to men directly… that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that."

I wonder what he meant? That men are sexist because we don’t want a woman president? Or maybe that they wouldn’t vote because they’re heading to the grocery store or something?
Sounds anti-human.
> Well, can you think of any reason why those young women didn't want to consider and understand the "opposing view"?

consider and understand =/= agree and support. Regardless of the Harris' or Dems' views, you win elections by getting votes. If we assume everyone who voted for Trump is a sexist asshole, then Harris was running for president in a country where half the electorate are sexist assholes. If you're not gonna extend empathy and try to build bridges with them, then there's no point in running.

This is the same in blue collar environments. They have more of the levity that I'm seeking regardless.

Maybe this is it? I'm not fully convinced. I have worked with tech dorks that had a sense of humor, and that didn't bring contentious things to the working environment. Is it a lack of wit? I don't know. The more I think about it, the more confused I get, honestly.

But it’s a skewed picture of the actuality, which that those wage gains didn’t make up for the 40 years of stagnation preceding it.
