sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
Trump is working hard to de-fund the Democratic Party, while simultaneously deporting much of its voting base. His long-term goal appears to be to end the Democrats as a major political force in the US, and instead turn into a small, extremist party of the coasts and of some wealthy elites. It's a brilliant strategy that, if successful, will have ramifications long after Trump leaves office.
I fervently pray that the Democrat party is totally eliminated to nothing more than a fragment of itself and that it has no material influence on any aspect of American life.
I dunno. To me the problem is that too many Republicans, Liz Cheney types, were also involved in the deep state funding. Will the Democratic party shrink as it loses money and power? Yes, of course, that is already happening. Will it make some sort of comeback at some point in the next few years? Judging by history, again, yes it will.
Right, and it will come out that lots of them had their hand in the cookie jar as well. Too many were in favor of funding Ukraine, and now President Zelensky has said that most of the funds that were supposedly sent to Ukraine did not, in fact, arrive there. People were, in fact, using Ukraine to launder US taxpayer dollars for their own personal gain, and folks need to be forced to resign from office and be criminally prosecuted for that, people in both political parties.
