   Yeah, I know— but they aren’t slaves, just poorly paid workers who have no better choice. And, who do you think is making the stuff you buy that is American made- by American workers using parts from Asia.

   He has the house, senate White House and Supreme Court. Of course, he actually is controlled by the Heritage Foundation. Read Project 2025. It isn’t a rumor.

   Isn’t it amazing that we are forced to learn Shakespeare and ignore Doug Adams. Which one actually had something relevant to say?

   I’m stocking up on anything that comes from Temu at half the price you pay here, before they have to start charging for the tariff Trump promised. Actually, you can get it all for about 75% of the regular store price at the Dollar Store or Walmart, but they just sell the stuff that you can buy from China, and they will have to raise prices to cover the tariff too.

   This is an early example of the Republican propaganda machine. They realized as early as the 1960’s that many of the people who formed the Tea Party, then the Heritage Foundation and so on were not real nice guys. They tended to be Trump types— anything that benefited them or their agenda was acceptable behavior, regardless of damage to other people. Once they had accepted the fact that sugarcoating the people they attracted wasn’t going to be possible, they turned to the alternative, which was trying to make their opponents look even worse. This was what led to the story about Hillary Clinton and other top Democrats running a child porn operation out of the basement of a pizza parlor which had no basement. Of course, this was considered nonsense by anyone who had sense or was paying the remotest iota of attention.

   But, at the same time Rush Limbaugh was convincing the average American that they were getting an unfair deal and making them mad about it. This is what caused the guy standing beside his 20 foot boat to complain that he couldn’t afford groceries.

   So, combining the two produced Trump. That average American who is convinced he deserves more ( he does, but that’s another topic) and all politicians are as scummy as Trump, so might as well vote for the scum that wasn’t in office when covid caused prices to rise ( also Trump’s fault, since he killed the Obama agency designed to contain it— but that’s also another story).

   I have to keep talking to them in order to be able to say “I told you so”. Heck, HE told you so, why didn’t you listen?

   It’s caused by the lack of sunshine in the winter. The cure is a walk in the cold weather. The alternative is to just curl up under a quilt and watch TV until it warms up. Since SAD includes a lack of motivation, plan B usually wins.

   My experience is that it hurts just as bad when you think about it, but every day there are a few more minutes that you don’t think about it. My son died of Covid in 2021, and it gets better.

   And the crazy part of this is that a lot of those people are dedicated MAGAts.

    Only if we MAKE it pass. We need a few days to recover, then get back to whatever you were doing to kick that arc of justice in the right direction.
