How did you go broke?
A:
Gradually at first, and then all of a sudden.
A guy like Trump - somebody with lots of charisma, and so devoid of honor and principles that he has total confidence in every horseshit thing he says - he's unbeatable. Until he isn't.
And we already know he can be beaten because Joe Biden did exactly that by getting 81 million of us up off the couch, and rallied us to a worthy cause - in the middle of a pandemic that was killing people by the thousands every day just because they got off that couch and mingled with a few others at the grocery store for 20 or 30 minutes.
Also, remember Biden nearly got his face torn off by a very aggressive Kamala Harris in the first debate in 2020 - which I think made her the obvious choice for VP (because Joe is kinda savvy like that), which put her in position to learn everything she needed to learn, and to learn it from a true master of the political arts.
Now we've got a trained and ready Kamala Harris at the head of a political coalition that runs from Bernie Sanders
- to AOC
- to Jasmine Crockett
- to Stanley McChristal
- to Bruce Springsteen
- to Magic Johnson
- to Jeff Flake
- to Taylor Swift
- to Christine Todd-Whitman
- to Chuck Hagel
- to Dick Cheney
Dick-fucking-Cheney!?!
So, god willin' and the crick don't rise, Trump is about to do what he's always done eventually - he's about to go broke.
Believe it or not, I'm not all giddy and shit - plenty of bad things can happen in the 30 days we have left before the election - but there's a shift happening.
The American Voter is an odd duck. Aggravating as hell, because sometimes we act like a bunch of high schoolers trying to make up our minds about Homecoming Queen, and should we go with the girl all our friends say they're voting for, or maybe we'll write in Betty Boop, or maybe we just turn up our noses because who wants to play this fuck-around game anyway?
All that said - feel the wave.
Be the wave.
But -
Don't get cocky.
Get together and do the work.
Send those fuckers packin'
