You guys, I'm NOT despairing. I'm just going through some de-programming with some fear of aerial poison gas added in. I'm even still open to Trump and Elon doing something good. Maybe.

I'm thrilled I may not have to look at the thing anymore and try to make heads or tails of it. But I'm not black-pilled. I'm still naive and gullible.

Power doesn’t transfer for real until 20 Jan. You might want to give the new team a chance to lie to you before you declare it did. If you or anyone else thinks everything you believe is MAGA is indeed so, you most definitely will be disappointed. I recommend believing just one thing, Trump and his team of Billionaires can’t be bought by other billionaires, and they will do what Trump believes will MAGA. They are committed, and the infighting you are seeing is what we used to call robust debate. We are all so used to gaslighting and one party bullshit rule that a little rough and tumble debate depresses us. It shouldn’t. It is what the country was founded on. Remember, only about a third of the colonials wanted to have a new country. That is probably where we are with MAGA too, so Republican party politics will definitely be energetic. If it starts to get calm and feels normal; we will not like that outcomes. Embrace the debate; it is healthy.
