The White Christian Supremacism of this administration is so extreme that it seems like it’s got to resolve with either a massive rejection of such illiberalism, or a violent, authoritarian imposition of it.

It’s easy to forget that, amid all the Trump administration’s attacks on democracy this year, there are ample reasons to be grateful — and even hopeful — as we begin to bring 2025 to a close.

Here are six things we’re feeling thankful for this year.

“This voyage and survival were undertaken for yet a further purpose: to escape the religious persecution they experienced at home, escape to a new land—a new world—of religious liberty. It is for this they were giving thanks in this first American Thanksgiving.”

“Thanksgiving, the festival of shared gratitude, is our small attempt to overcome this structural defect in liberal societies and stop their very success from dooming them. So let’s today re-count our blessings.”

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

Mr. Trump talks often about how philanthropic he is, but as reporting in The Washington Post and The Times has documented, it appears as if some of those contributions were exaggerated. Remember the Trump Foundation, which, The Times reported, he misused to…
