A Few Links for Any Undecideds in Your Life

Four days to go.

Hey everyone. I did an earlier, shorter Jackal this week, but I wanted to do a round-up of some things I’ve been reading in case you have a friend, loved one, or very sentient pet that needs some extra convincing. Together, we will send Donald Trump back to the Shadow.

Should-Shares:

Over the last few weeks, I have tried to put together simple, easy-to-read posts about why the Orange Man™ is, in fact, bad.

• This one is on tariffs and how Trump’s policies could actually increase inflation.

• This one is on Trump’s economic record, which was not the “best economy of all time” (I changed the headline to make it more accurate).

• This one is on Trump’s closing argument, in which he basically concedes that his plans will cause a recession (this has an update from the original email).

Those are Jackals meant for sharing. They are shorter and have lots of pictures, which appeals to my learning style.

Should-Read, then Should-Share:

These are a few pieces I have been reading that I thought did a good job explaining why the Biden/Harris Administration cooked:

• This piece from Noah Smith is really excellent and easy to read.

• This piece on Trump’s association with R.F.K., Jr., should be alarming to every parent.

• Bret Stephens has, maybe, the best “conservative case against Trump” piece this week. Its title? “A Conservative Case Against Trump.”

• This is not the most important thing, but it really is alarming: Donald Trump is almost $2 billion in debt. BILLION. That kind of debt makes him susceptible to all kinds of blackmail. Maybe it pushes someone you know over the edge.

• Dana Milbank makes his final argument and it’s good.

I will be back with my own final take on Monday. Then we vote. Enjoy the weekend and remember to put down your phones every once in a while; doomscrolling will never satisfy you.¹
