It's all over Buzzfeed / Reddit, which is definitely a good sign - Taylor Swift talking about Project 2025 would Break the Internet & coalesce the normies.

I completely agree that the economy will always be the primary concern, but this is an election about turnout. And issues like Biden’s age are the kind of thing that turns otherwise disengaged “maybe I should vote” voters into “what’s the point if they’re both old senile men” non-voters.

Also helps that Harris has largely been kept out of anything Gaza-related. Could help with young people who'd knock doors & show up to vote.

Around 2021/22 there was a bimbo scene online (hot girls who know how the government works, gas up their friends, and are leftists) that has been displaced in 2023/24 by tradwives (hot girls who cosplay housewives backed by wealth & advance “traditional values”) Idk if anyone has written about this

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass & dictators die & the power they took from the people will return to the people. So long as men die liberty will never perish www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7GY...

Oooo my dad liked this one about lighthouses: www.amazon.com/Lighthouses-...

Definitely read articles about Singapore, Michigan - its sister city buried beneath the dunes.

Both the Douglas and Saugatuck city history museums are excellent.
