Primary Every Democrat

It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Today the country is under attack by religious moral crusaders who are trying to kill the Rule of Law which protects us all from exactly those who attack it. Lincoln spoke eloquently on this subject.

Trump ignorantly brags about business of the late 18th/early 19th centuries. If more people knew history they'd know he's talking about the age of the Robber Barons. These industrialists abused workers, poisoned consumers & used child labor.

Let's be perfectly clear, no one is saying Elon Musk is going to buy Truth Social and knock Trump off his own platform, but someone might say that sometime and you'll never hear it on FoxNews. Still people want to know, Who really will be the next president?

A difference between Trump's fascism and that of the 20th century European dictators is organization. Trump's perpetual chaos has a shelf life, but it will be the refusal to accept we're all created equal, will be what brings them down just as it did before.

Letters from an American

November 14, 2024

As the last of the votes are being counted, it looks like Trump will have less than 50% of the popular vote.

Not a massive mandate by any means.

Republicans now control the Senate but not all want to implement Trump's actions that are not popular with their voters. The dog caught the car, now what?

Looks like Trump’s last rallies were a bust. Looks to me like the whole upper balcony was empty at all 3 events Monday where folks started leaving in the first hour.

Trump ended his campaign blaming the voters if he loses.

How encouraging. Not.
