When I was small, I dreamed up lands of freedom. It meant opportunity to me - options beyond the ones that money buys.
It was fantasy back then, but maybe we are now finally ready to dream it into a reality.

From the diaries of a “strong” leader

The might to build a tower, I might protect my folk.
And I might lead this land to hell, as long as it’s on fire.
For if people live in huts or cells, might is my lone desire.

For all the TRUMP = STRONG propaganda this is *exactly* what his “leadership” was like in Covid. Constant zigging and zagging, self-contradictory, incapable of commitment, wanting to have it both ways. It was a disaster!
This is what weak, flailing leadership looks like. His inability to make meaningful change in areas like this explains the desperate, authoritarian bluster of his largely illegal Executive Orders. This is the sort of leader who opposing politicians should definitely NOT cater to.
