I was born just before Reagan was elected. Growing up, I got the mostly mistaken impression that America had some of its shit sorted from Vietnam, WWII, and all that 20th century turmoil. A period of stability. Upward trending society. Reagan undid a lot of that progress.

I've been watching this country die, slowly, for 45 years. This has been such a weird time to be alive. Fighting over scraps we volunteered to subsist on instead of overthrowing corrupt and cruel systems. We had periods we thought we were recovering. We had hope. I feel today like there isn't any left. Another four years of this, and it will be worse.

He struck a fatal blow. He used the tools of fear and rhetoric to do it. The weakness was there, the vulnerability. And here is the next evolution of American fear. We're a country voluntarily destroying itself out of fear of our imminent destruction. We had everything, and we gave it away.

We heard the call of the void, and we've answered.

Don Jr then boasted: “I think my father knows the McDonald’s menu much better than Kamala Harris ever did.”

He calls it "The Weave." He must have picked it up somewhere, this euphemism for incoherent rambling. Maybe a staffer invented it for him and he liked it. It's clear he doesn't have answers for the questions he's asked because he knows so little and his go-to move is to bullshit his way just convincingly enough that sycophants will praise his vast expertise.

What it is really is scrambled and decrepit brain vomit from a man who was never skilled or intelligent to begin with. He's no longer capable of spinning a bullshit narrative and sounding knowledgeable.

I hope it means he sold it because he's slowly going broke and can't hold on to it anymore.

McCormick told the crowd. “I’m running to bring leadership to our commonwealth.”

Hey that's exactly what Anericans need less of. Here's a revolutionary idea: run to be of service to the community you live in. Find out what they want and need. Do some work and get those things for them.

Leadership. Jfc

I really want to feel bad for people being deceived for decades by right-wing grifters but it seems there is a rotten core to them that his rhetoric speaks to that I can't forgive.
