As a means to an end that would see the MAGA "movement" relegated in infamy to the dustbin history, perhaps it's best that Republicans continue to bend the knee to their false idol, Power (via Trump).
It could precipitate a turn to the center left, so long as Democrats work for the people.

The Fourth Estate are doing their jobs but the job description has changed. It used to be "objectively informing the electorate". Now it's to maximize clicks and views to generate ad revenue and the algorithms stir up the shit storm knowing that anger increases clicks.
Corporate greed.

Trump has been the corporate media's cash cow - driving clicks and views - since he descended that escalator bringing his Hell with him.
No way they're going to kill the goose that is continually laying golden ratings/revenue eggs.
Profit > People.

"I don't know what word in the English language - I can't find one - that applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly overstuffed pockets. The word 'Evil' doesn't begin to approach it." ~ Noam Chomsky

They have one in @jamestalarico.bsky.social. Both he and Rep. Crockett should be loud voices in the party and in Washington.

It's so refreshing to see someone who refuses to engage in the pettiness and mean-spiritedness of ad hominem, character assassination politics.
Godspeed, @jamestalarico.bsky.social, may your example be a catalyst for positive change!

They call it trickle-up, not trickle down. And it's working perfectly well... for those on the top of the food chain.
The rest of us can eat cake.

Perhaps, but you never know unless you try. I cancelled my Amazon Prime membership deciding I don't need that useless thing in China today on my doorstep tomorrow. The waste is unconscionable. Instead I purchase locally produced food and goods, no big box stores.
That's a start.

If the DNC doesn't launch an all-out assault on Trump's gilded ballrooms/toilets and handouts to billionaires while we unwashed masses struggle to meet our basic needs as the singular focus of the 2026 election campaign, it'll be a dereliction of duty.

The late stage capitalism era that we're now in is malignant. But we've been through this before, and it always takes a revolution.
Our revolution can be global, non violent non cooperation. If we stop participating in their economy, we will force change.

3/3 This deep resonance means an attack on him is perceived as a personal attack, leading to an unwavering loyalty that encourages actions beyond normal political engagement, as exemplified by the events of January 6th.

1/3 The unique and fervent adherence of Donald Trump's core MAGA base stems from an emotional, rather than an intellectual or policy-based, connection. Unlike most politicians who offer a "contract" to improve voters' lives, Trump's appeal lies in his ability to serve as a literal "mouthpiece".

Regardless of my independently validating that the farmer in question was using chemicals, and the fact that I verify the Organic claims of my local producers, I find that going local and organic is among the best things that I can do for the health of my family, community and planet.

I drove passed a farm late this summer with a farmer out spraying his enormous crop field. I have never found a stench so offensive in all my years. It was some nasty chemical, completely unnatural and foreign to my senses.
I've been consuming nothing but local, organic produce ever since.
