It Will Get Worse Again Soon

Mike Pompeo will almost certainly run in 2024. And he and his wife Susan are worse than Trump.

Joe Biden didn't beat Donald Trump. No, Donald Trump beat himself. His big mouth lost him Pennsylvania and Arizona. His refusal to be decent and kind set up his defeat years ago. I'm thrilled he sunk himself. But we have to acknowledge that his loss is all on him. He had this election almost in the bag. Turns out Americans didn't care about the recession or COVID-19! They were ready to give him a full pass! But he insulted the ghost of John McCain and insulted Pennsylvania. Cocky bastard.

We’re getting another Trump. Sooner than we think. And he or she will be more competent, charismatic, and get even more votes.

As much as I want to see Harris become president after Biden, we have to acknowledge that Trump’s base is huge. If there’s a slip in enthusiasm on the Democratic side, the GOP takes back the White House easily. Or worse, if the vote is close enough, the GOP will steal the election.

We need to build a movement to keep the Democrats in power. Threatening and shouting to move to the center is not going to get that done. Glorifying and worshipping militarized police and sheriffs departments is not going to get that done. Cheering on fossil fuels for another decade won’t do it either. Another catastrophe is coming in the form of a destructive, abusing Republican president, and this time, I won’t care as much. I’ll be in my 50s and I will be well past the point of giving a shit. Good luck, kids.
