Reed, this post is one of the most insightful and thorough I've ever read. This three-headed hydra of plutocracy, white supremacy, and Xhristian nationalism won't stop at anything to achieve absolute power and destroy our country.
I'm very hopeful though. Those of us on Team America, Democracy, and Sanity are much more powerful than we realize. We have more than enough votes to win most elections outright so long as we mobilize for every election. Right now, it feels like we're at an equivalent stage in WWII when the Allies first made their first major gains in 1942. We have a long ways to go, but I believe that we can prevail and crush this anti-American and anti-democracy movement completely.
I don't know Reed. I can't argue with what you said BUT, and it's a big BUT, the catalyst, the oxidizer, of the 2015 and 2016 period may not come out to play. That being the press that hung on every word. I don't see them following Trump around like some lost and hungry puppy. My take, Trump will not only go down, he will go down hard.
“...they’ll take the guy who agrees with them on a fundamental belief: We get to do whatever we want because we’re white and Christian; woe to those who would stop us.”
Great post, Reed. Love the Bosch, you can look at that one little detail for hours.
Thank you for all that you are doing to save our democracy.
In addition to the “millions into his campaign and political efforts and hundreds of millions more into dark money groups that would carry MAGA’s message forward and finance is network of insane and ugly supporters from Capitol Hill to local school boards”, they also contributed trillions into the economy and had it humming like a finely tuned combustion engine.
What? Are you kidding? Have you noticed the economic growth rate over the last two years versus during Trump's term? The only thing that happened was those guys **sucking** trillions out of the economy into their various bank accounts, stock portfolios and luxury goods. That's all they care about - who can get the biggest stack of coin. It's like the mob bosses in "The Dark Knight", giving control of all their cash to The Joker only to have him put it into a big pile and burn it all because he could.
Certainly the door is open but that doesn't mean you didn't hit a wall coming over here. No one cares about your "Biden crime family" and "Pelosi Pelosi Pelosi" MAGA spells. They don't work on people with brains. Take your toddler toys and go back to your MAGA corner. Buh bye!
Reed, this is one of your absolute best pieces. I've long thought that Rs want to repeal the advances of the 20th century, starting with the New Deal. The tax moves during trump's time were the natural extension of Reagan's messaging in the 80s. Rs didn't want smaller government per se, they just didn't want their tax dollars going to help anyone who wasn't them.

From your lips to God's ears.

The Bosch is exceedingly apropos!

Economic growth rate measured in dollars spent? Ya think it might have anything to do with the 40 year high rate of inflation?
And you want to talk about common thieves? How about the Biden crime family and Nancy Pelosi’s insider trading.
Hey Reed! One of the cult members managed to sneak in here!
Walked right through the wide open door. Thank you.

I can see you’re very easily agitated. Have you been diagnosed with a severe case of TDS?

Can't wait til my copy of Stuart's book lands.
Thanks Reed! Excellent!
