   You can choose the ones you want to read, either set up you page that way, or just visually skip over them. You are probably one of the folks who want to decide which books are in the public library based on what you think should be there, regardless of what other people want to read.

   Nothing you wrote is true of average progressives. It is about 35% true of the far left fringe and 65% Republican lies.

   Your 401K depends on the health of the stock market, which is in a state of vertigo right now, trying to decide if Trump’s going to put us into a depression, or just a recession. In either case, any and all of our investments will lose value, including every form of retirement fund.

   The LAST THING WE NEED TO DO IS NOTHING!!!! Individual Democrats have no power on their own. Any politician or political party’s entire power lies in their base, the voters who put them in office. When those people start showing up, donating, organizing, and working to turn the 2026 congress bluer than the sky, that is what gives power to anyone in political life. If you are demanding that your rep do more, what are you doing to support that effort?

   We elected a Republican government and got Project 2025. This was not a sneaky move. Project 2025 simply laid out what has been the Republican blueprint for decades. They have not been shy about it; they published it.

   If you do not like what is going on in DC right now, and you voted Republican, you should have been paying better attention.

   There were Germans interviewed in 1950 who said that Hitler may have done some bad stuff, but overall he was good for Germany, so don’t hold your breath on the MAGAts grasping reality any time soon.The GOP has lied for decades about multiple things, and the past election is the result of their principle that “if you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”In the past, we have been able to correct this sort of mistake with an election, and with three branches of government and the constitution putting limits on what could be accomplished, the damage was somewhat limited. Trump has the Supreme Court in his pocket, and a Congress that is afraid to act. He disregards the constitution, and no one stops him.Can we count on the election in four years to stop him? Why do you think he is firing everyone who might oppose him and hiring Trump loyalists? We may or may not have an election four years. Trump did suggest that Covid was reason enough for the 2020 election to be postponed. And, since he is making most of our historic allies furious with the USA, a crisis is quite likely.

   But even if we go to the polls, will it matter if the votes are counted by those chosen for loyalty to Trump?

   It’s so good to read your posts again. Hopefully, the change coming to his site in April includes being able to respond to all of the comics. I miss you, and quite a few other folks I used to enjoy reading.

    The bright side of America’s abdication as the leader of the free world is that many other countries are picking up the torch that we dropped. King’s “arc of the moral universe” is alive and well, and the human race will continue to seek justice and crawl a bit further out of the caves, without being forced to check to see what America thinks about any moves they make. I’m ashamed to be an American, but a bit more proud of the human race in general.
