@NJWookie "We exist in a space where people don't care about good government they only care about their own economic woes."
A good observation. I'd add, too, "their perceived economic woes." Much that we're dealing with in that regard, it seems to me, is people's stubborn willingness to believe that things crashed economically under Biden and were peachy under Trump — when facts say otherwise.

@oldclumsy_nowmad That's right. History definitely shows us this over and over.

100%. The Democrats did a horrible job of messaging. They failed to remind voters Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic had us locked in our houses watching the economy tank. They let the media focus on the price of eggs instead of low unemployment, easing inflation, & rising wages.
As Team Trump cuts off all of the infrastructure investments, slashes federal programs, & imposes tariffs I'd expect the economy to go into recession & people will start to feel the error of their vote.

Here in Australia we will have some Right Wing hijacking to contend with in our General Election next year. -

@Godfrey642 I ask myself that as someone who feels definitely vulnerable, an aging openly gay man married to another man, living in a deep-red bible-belt state. I feel precarious.

@NJWookie The problem is, how does anyone, Democrats or anyone else, compete with spates and spates of disinformation constantly beamed into the heads of gullible people by online sites today?

"These choices aren’t just shocking. They’re sending the message that Donald Trump cares about loyalty over basic competence. And perhaps more importantly, they’re setting a norm from the beginning: that no matter what Trump does, he expects Republicans to comply."
~ Jill Filipovic
Jokers and Losers
Trump’s cabinet is absurd. Republicans will accept it anyway. That’s the point.

"Trump is giving his middle finger to America.
Nominating the alleged sexual trafficker Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General, Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense, and bizarro Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence, are acts of nihilistic disruption."
~ Robert Reich
