Voted for Reagan in the 80s. Soon after, the devil’s bargain between the GOP and evangelicals became clear to me. Staunch Democrat since 1988.

Are we still standing?

Are we still breathing?

Are we still cantankerous as hell?

Then there’s still hope.

It will fail.

This administration is not expanding its base; it’s pushing more and more people away.

Markets don’t come back overnight.

America will be back. But the rest of the world will be giving us the sideeye for a long time.

As they should.

Shun the Vichy Media.
