Believe it or not we are winning even the nomination of Mullin shows just how much Trump is losing a president with nothing to hide wouldn't pick a nominee that was so controversial but Drumpf can't afford to have anyone close to him that will put the country before the president otherwise even more bad shot will come out. Not to mention anyone that's sycophant wouldn't blindly rubber stamp Drumpf's unconstitutional actions

While my senses should by now be so dulled by the endless, exhausting, non-stop daily assault on my reasonably capable abilities of discernment, critical thinking, moral and ethical judgment, that this by all accounts should come as no shock to me, yet, it does! Again! #Exhausting that man is utterly #EXHAUSTING

Some day, we are going to wake up in the morning to no exhausting news at all, and the day is going to seem endless and full of possibility.

At this point, such a day sounds like one where I am already dead…

NO! Never think like that! You will not be dead, I will not be dead… yes, we will be exhausted,but newly energized, with renewed purpose and vigilance! I gotta keep believing that (… a song pops into my head LOL!)

Well, I’ll make it longer than Trump does. But I think this is going to be another long, twilight struggle for democracy - a cold civil war - and the process of peeling away MAGA voters and members of other far-right movements abroad as well as the U.S. is going to take decades, not years. BUT, I think, now that it’s all very much out in the open, that we’re starting to win again against antidemocratic actors. Trump is ailing, his movement is in disarray. Hungary is likely to vote out their autocrat next month. Poland already ditched theirs a couple years ago. There are green shoots.

I live in the Deep South, and this is what I struggle to get people to understand. The Republicans have never been for working people. My words invariably fall on deaf ears.

It might change. In the post-Cold War era, vulture capitalism hasn’t had an opposite extreme to keep it in check. But at this point, it feels like they are raining all-out class war down on us. Working people in the Deep South are especially vulnerable, given the relative lack of even the fragments of a good enough safety net. Maybe as the elites continue to abandon us, your neighbors may come around to a left-leaning populism.

I sure hope so. Thanks for your highly-readable analysis. You are one of my go-tos every day!
