The elections last week proved that Trump's success in 2024 was best explained as a *dealignment* in politics, hastened by but not only due to inflation — but not a Trump *realignment*.
This week, polls showed POTUS slipping further w/ Gen Z and Latinos

The 2024 Trump "realignment" is over already
Claims of a conservative realignment of non-whites, the working class, and young voters have been highly exaggerated

Every one of Trump’s 27 judicial nominees refused to say Trump lost in 2020. They all dodged with the same line: "President Biden was certified."

Josh Orton: "These were political loyalty tests. If they told the truth, Trump would pull their nominations."

19 now have federal lifetime seats.

Josh Orton: "Every one of Trump's judicial picks ducked the Jan 6 question. They said it's a 'political controversy.' We expect judges to be loyal to the Constitution — Trump demands they be loyal to him."

(15 Senate Democrats still voted to confirm some of them.)

Keith Boykin: The president does not have the legal authority to go in and kill people just because he thinks that they're narco terrorists. We know that there are a couple people who were survivors who were released, not put on trial in the United States. How are they such a great threat?

Bill Maher quoting Epstein emails: "I'm the one able to take him down… I know how dirty Donald is."

Then mocks Megyn Kelly's bizarre take that Epstein "wasn't technically a pedophile." Trump even brought Boebert into the Situation Room, "because they got a situation."

Trump announces there is “no inflation” and that Trump Tariff Tax rebates might maybe possibly go to some Americans maybe “sometime next year.”

Also, the cost of beef steaks is up 17% - highest in 3 years.

There's a No Trillionaires Day of Action today! Nov. 15!

And there's been some debate in local activist circles about whether there should be any more focus on Musk.

C'MON!

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.
