To call it a disappointment isn’t quite strong enough.

I’m never a fanboy of futility…I think there’s always something that could be done.

My issue is that the people who seem to me to be the ones who are positioned to really do something don’t, and I’m left to wonder why.

Befuddled, I suppose. Yeah, befuddled.

So sure, Trump won. That’s no surprise to me, I mean the Democrats have been paving his way since 2016 and the haters and racists have seemed really empowered and encouraged by that Elon energy lately. The Trump win is being described as some sort of mandate to roll forward, full steam ahead, with an agenda of deportation and bigotry, while the material needs of and deference to the working class is cast aside. 

Tax cuts for the wealthiest, a seat at the policymaking table for wealthy donors, and crypto, baby. Oh, and deportation and isolationism. Plus rescinding Bidens plan to reduce medication costs for Medicare and Medicaid patients.

Trump is making America something, that’s for sure.
