These questions are now at the heart of political science. Who, then, falls into this subset of partisan sectarians? The authors cite a set of nine polling questions that ask voters to assess their feelings toward members of the opposition on a scale of 1 to 6, with six the most hostile.

According to experts I talked to, the surge in hate spending can be attributed to various factors. They're aware prices aren't going back to 2019 levels, and given everything everyone's just been through, they may as well live it up. She told me that she often finds herself outraged by prices — and then ultimately succumbs to the forces of capitalism. It's easy to say you want to cut back on spending, given high prices, but when a friend asks whether you want to go shopping, it's hard to say no. Hart, the Illinois writer with a brand-new Stanley cup, sees some of her spending as a way to reclaim power.

Read previewFormer President Donald Trump can't escape the issue of abortion rights. As a Florida resident, he will have the opportunity to vote on an abortion rights ballot initiative this November. Biden's campaign has also released multiple ads tied explicitly to the issue of abortion rights. "Elect me," Biden told reporters at the White House in response to a question about the Arizona ruling. Key battleground states, including Arizona and Nevada, may both have abortion rights directly on their respective ballots this November.

☆ A quirky primary rule propelled Trump to victory in 2016, but it could come back to bite him in 2024

Rather, it's about how Cruz and his allies complained in 2016 about how non-Republican voters helped hand the nomination to Trump. Trump ran away with the 2016 Republican presidential nomination in part due to his sheer dominance in these so-called "open primaries." Trump's advantage in open primaries in 2016 was unmistakable. Despite holding a polling advantage in the weeks leading up to the 2016 Iowa caucuses, Trump narrowly lost the state to Cruz. But his apparent reversal on open primaries is quite simply yet another sign of his hostile takeover of the GOP.

Photo: Alamy Stock PhotoWe’re in a terrible spot, and everybody knows it. Americans on the right and left detest each other, excoriate each other and, with every flaring of rage, move further from any sense of pluralistic common cause. Citizens have lost confidence in officialdom. Fashionable ideologies that brook no good-faith dissent have surged into every corner of life. Make a minor demurral, even a joke, and you risk being subjected to the ghastly nullification rituals of what is called cancel culture.

I am a mom, but not a mom jeans fan. What am I to do with the current trend for high-rise pants? That’s why, whenever I hear that skinny jeans are over, or skinny jeans are back, I roll my eyes. Look around, and you will see “dad jeans,” “mom jeans,” distressed jeans, wide jeans, boot-cut jeans, flared jeans, stretch jeans, stiff jeans, et cetera. That said, there is a certain polish to the high-rise trend that makes it worth noting.

Voi ambii în diferită măsură, dar ați pus umărul la distrugerea acestui stat. Voi ați pus umărul la capturarea statului. Eu am multe de spus și despre unul și despre altul, dar dat fiind faptul că sunt limitat în timp vă dau doar două exemple, foarte elocvente și clasice.
