America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

The pattern is astounding in its consistency:
They have no interest in the common good.
They will never build, they will only subtract.
They are incapable of creating anything meaningful, beautiful, or life-giving.
They only know how to destroy.

Since tariffs raise prices, the logical conclusion is that people will buy LESS, not more. Especially those laid off, fired, or worrying about their Social Security payments.
Less consumer spending = low consumer confidence = recession.

Just saw that Musk announced all federal employees have received it will receive an email asking them to report on what they have done in the last week. Failure to respond will be seen as resignation.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
