We should be learning from other countries...
My 50 years of being a liberal political junkie has always included an acknowledgement of the other side being able to engineer political victories becaue they had better messaging and I would leave it at that. But for the imbecilic morons that voted #Trump into office I will NEVER forgive. Hence:
The far right can show a level of stupidity that defies the imagination. The European right tried to hitch their star to the con artist rapist and it burned them. Someone should have warned them about #ETTD. Go figure.

Being a "lefty" I wanted to remind those that want to make that label a pejorative insult what the lefties historically and those I supported and continue to support have given us whereas every elected conservative has faught against. Enjoy:
On the pod, @gtconway.bsky.social lays out accountability agenda if Dems win House:
*Impeach Trump and top officials
*Criminal referrals to DOJ
*25th Amendment commission
*Fix Impoundment Act
*Codify DOJ independence
There's much more here. It's a good discussion:
