As a former Texas, I sure hope so. And as an American, I desperately want to believe you’re right.
Living in Midland, Texas I have hope this Christmas.
I see no more Trump flags or MAGA hats.
Our former MAGA mayor has written a book about moving to the middle politically and civility in politics.
I'm not saying we are turning blue.
But people are sick of Trump.
There is hope.

Limo drivers often make great sources. So do pilots for private jets. In fact, the entire service staff for billionaires. Don’t underestimate them— they often know what was really going on. And if there’d been a serious investigation, they’d all have given evidence by now.
You guys caught this too, right?
“Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.”
Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.”

Fundamentalist faiths make religion dangerous to others, but Christianity properly lived is dangerous to Christians. It’s dangerous to people who refuse to hate those they are told to hate, to people who refuse to oppress, to conquer, to exploit — even when they’re told to conquer in the name of God
