Governments that seek to control the people by controlling the culture will ALWAYS (always, always, always) fail.
The culture doesn’t inform the public, culture reflects the public.
And the harder authoritarians push, the more subversive the art and the more defiant the people.

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.

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.
Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.
