#Raging Moderates

“Your leverage does not justify the resources” Donald Trump has led various organizations to financial ruin. Now he’s doing the same to the U.S. Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov discuss, on Raging Moderates.

The moderates are being silenced… Polarization isn’t new. America has lived through intense divides before. But as Jonathan Haidt observes, something has changed—not in whether we’re polarized, but in how we respond to it. It’s not just left vs. right anymore. It’s increasingly about insiders turning on their own, where moderates become targets not for betraying core values, but for expressing hesitation, nuance, or complexity. In that environment, it becomes harder to ask honest questions. Harder to course-correct. And harder for institutions to function as spaces of learning, progress, and adaptation. When disagreement is treated as disloyalty, the quiet voices fade. What’s left are those most willing to speak in absolutes. Haidt describes this as the point when “the institution gets stupid” —not because people are unintelligent, but because the systems around them begin to discourage thinking openly. When fear of backlash outweighs thoughtful judgment, even well-meaning institutions can end up repeating choices they know aren’t working. #Politics #Democrat #Republican #Moderate #Insight

All moderates are just conservatives right?

Do Democrats need to act more “culturally normal” to win elections? Watch @billmaher, @paul_begala and @repluna discuss @gavinnewsom’s comments and more on this week’s episode of #RTOvertime.

All leftists know to do is argue

BREAKING: MAGA spending $44M to oust progressive Democrat from the Senate in GA.

This isn’t left vs. right anymore. It’s not normal politics. One party is collapsing into a safe space for cranks, criminals, and insurrectionists. The other? It’s stuck saying all the right things—while getting little done. We don’t need more statements. More hashtags. More “awareness.” We need to win power. That means: 💥 Building coalitions (ALSO with people you don’t like). 💥 Running for office (federal, state, local)
 💥 Laser-focus on winning elections and on passing laws
 💥 Don’t ‘check’ your privilege, ‘use’ your privilege. It’s 2025. The planet is burning. Democracy is crumbling. This is no time for navel-gazing. We either rise to the moment—or we lose it.

what happened to liberal democracy in a (4min) nutshell: @daron_acemoglu at @democracyxchange #dxc26

Modern politics is less about how we care for one another, and more about who is seen as deserving of care in the first place. This video breaks down the psychology of moral circles of concern—who we feel responsible for, and how threat, fear, and scarcity can narrow those circles and make certain political movements feel compelling. If you want the full breakdown, with research and citations, I wrote a much deeper piece on my Substack. Link in bio. #politics #maga #psychology #moralcircles

Democratic Socialist Liberals keep racism alive because it benefits their power, not the people.
