From now on, I'm substituting "Republicans" or "GOP" for any reference to DOGE, trump or musk
Republicans have shown that they fully endorse and vote for (or stand aside for) anything trump, musk or DOGE does - time to shine a light on that - they are the ones we can vote out

Trump trashed his own Cabinet nominees from his 1st term as weak, incompetent, losers. Blamed Deep State RINOs for recommending bad people, but said that THIS TIME he was REALLY going to appoint “all the best people.” Meanwhile, 2 have already washed out with Hegseth imploding.

When your MAGA uncle wonders why Trump is threatening tariffs and raising the prices of everything, after he repeatedly promised to do the opposite, look him straight in the eye and gently whisper:
"It was never about you...and now he doesn't need you anymore"
"It was never about you...and now he doesn't need you anymore"

Every day for the next twenty days, I will be posting one of the lessons from On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. They are frighteningly relevant today.
For now, here is the quote at the beginning of the book that gave me chills:
"In politics, being deceived is no excuse." - Leszec Kolakowski

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.
