Never set foot in a Cracker Barrel in my life. But now that it’s a MAGA-free zone, I might become a regular. Time for the libs to take it over.

Extremists win because most people ignore the one election that matters most: the primary.

I explain why this overlooked power could save democracy in my latest article:

1/ My first instinct is that with Trump supporters, all roads lead back to being white Christian nationalist, xenophobic bigots—whether they’re willing to admit it to others or even to themselves. That’s what it is at the core.

From Jillian Michaels’ comments to the GOP’s talking points, we’re watching a coordinated effort to whitewash slavery — to downplay its brutality and rewrite history for political gain. I felt compelled to set the record straight.

Orwell’s 1984 was a warning. Trump and MAGA turned it into a playbook.

Smithsonian omits impeachments. FBI combs Epstein files. Allies become enemies overnight.

The tactics aren’t fiction anymore — they’re U.S. politics in 2025.

Orwell’s ‘1984’ Is No Longer Fiction — It’s the Republican Platform
Truth is malleable, history is rewritten, and loyalty to the leader trumps loyalty to the country. This isn’t dystopian fiction — it’s American politics in 2025.

Steve Bannon’s strategy was to “flood the zone with shit.” It works. It keeps everyone confused. I follow politics every day, and even I find it difficult to keep up.

When I tell people over dinner that the GOP — and by extension the country — is being run by the modern KKK, they look at me like I’m crazy. But every road I follow leads back to the same place: a white Christian nationalist agenda.

Make no mistake: today’s GOP defends, promotes, and protects convicted pedophiles — and their voters are complicit. Strange posture for a party that once claimed it was unmasking a “deep state pedophile cabal” of liberal elites.

Trump’s desperate fight to keep the Epstein files sealed isn’t about protecting others.

It’s about protecting himself.

I break down why his long pattern of proximity, silence, and plausible deniability points straight back to him.

Trump, Epstein, and the Power of Plausible Deniability
Why Trump may fear the Epstein files more than anyone—and how his long history of self-protection at others’ expense could finally catch up to him.

Extremism didn’t take over the GOP by accident.

It was decades of calculated strategy, changing incentives, and voters looking the other way.

That same system can be used to take it back.

The GOP didn’t just “flip” to extremism overnight.

Your Primary Power connects the dots — and shows how voters can shift it back.
