Hi! That’s me but my campaign bluesky is @michaelafortn.bsky.social!!

How the heck do we learn from this for the future?

The health of our economy relies on people buying a whole bunch of stuff they don't need. Obviously the critique of this is centuries old, but it's something we really have to wrestle with. Trump got his followers to stop buying cheap crap from Temu AND for many of them to see this as a good thing.

And this idea that we have to endure a little bit of present pain and give up some things now for a better future - that's what the sustainability movement has been trying to get people to embrace for years. Somehow Orange Man got his followers to do it in less than three months.
