  • So Trump isn’t Trump enough now?

    2015/16 Trump was a celebrity personality that created a previously non-existent voting base from practically nothing. He parroted talking points that he heard from other seasoned politicians but I’m a way that his followers could celebrate regardless of if they actually understood.

    Once the GOP understood their need for him, he became their tool. He’s nothing more than a GOP mascot and will do the bidding of their wealthy donors. He is the deep state.

    His fans are still against all of that and need to believe that Trump is different. The snake is eating its tail.

    I don’t believe that the GOP has the votes necessary to ever win a presidential election without a new Trump and finding someone with that level of celebrity and ability to work a crowd would be difficult.












  • I didn’t care about a progressive project 2025. I want guardrails that neuter project 2025 from being an effective project 2029.

    Voters have very short memories and Cheeto Mussolini losing doesn’t mean that this repugnant bullshit won’t be enacted in the future.

    We need federal court reform.

    Protections for non appointed federal employees.

    Protections for women’s health.

    Protections for voting rights.

    Protections for religions (of and from).

    And probably dozens of other things to make sure project 2025 doesn’t become project 2029.

    We cannot wait for the religious right to act before we respond. We have to respond now. They have shown us their hand and they think we are too weak to stop them. It is time we relegate their views and ideals to the trash heap in which they belong.
