If the DNC doesn't launch an all-out assault on Trump's gilded ballrooms/toilets and handouts to billionaires while we unwashed masses struggle to meet our basic needs as the singular focus of the 2026 election campaign, it'll be a dereliction of duty.

Society lauds the accumulation of massive wealth. It shouldn't be something one aspires to, it should be vilified as the sociopathic tendency it is, and treated by mental health professionals. You'd be excommunicated by your tribe if you hoarded all the resources.

Trump has focused on tax cuts for the wealthy and turning the White House into a gilded palace complete with golden toilets, . All with the support of the GOP.
Meanwhile, people can barely make ends meet. This had better be the DNC's singular focus for the 2026 midterm campaign.

The Book of Dede Korkut
Excessive wealth is avarice, it's a disorder. It's anti-social. It should be corrected, not celebrated.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social seems incredibly earnest, loving, caring, and unafraid to speak truth to power so I am afraid for him. History is replete with the martyrdoms of those who spoke truth to power. That said, if I had a vote in Texas, it's a no-brainer.
