I'm incredibly bullish on America's future. I get it's a bit hard to see these days--the death throes of unpopular authoritarianism is pretty scary and there are real problems in the immediate term--but I definitely think America's best days are still very much ahead.
Adamantly agree! We can not allow the treasure, so many have died for to be stolen by truly evil despicable traitors!
We see you; 34-felon, McCarthy, Heritage Society, McConnell, Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Jordan, MTG, Elon, etc.

As I said earlier, we have to put in the hard work and perseverance to get through this election to keep Trump out of the White House. The long term trends are very positive and there’s not much left of the true GOP. Once MAGA is defeated, that’s a totally splintered party.
Authoritarianism has to end at some point. Trump is 78. We would eventually find our way out but I’m just unsure how long that will take, and how many people are harmed in the process.
Today (or even better, yesterday) a good day to remember what a bunch of normie bros and led by one eccentric liberal arts professor can do to a legion of reactionary nutjobs.
We either row together or abandon ship and drown together. Every pull of the oar is for someone who will suffer more than you will under Donald 2.0. The LGTBQ community (especially trans folks). The black and brown folks. Immigrants. Kids. Muslims. Jews. Non-Christians. Elderly and disabled.
@pwnallthethings.bsky.social honestly optimism in America (or humanity) at this point sounds like Flat Earth nuttery to me. I feel like you are willfully ignoring reality to suit your own narrative.
I love this thought but have to wonder if and how it survives Trump winning again. I am holding onto the idea that the MAGA chuds have lost every major election in the last 4 years but if the NYT succeeds in handing this one to Trump I honestly don't know where we go from there.
