      I hear you and feel you (😉) but whatever you’re hoping to celebrate will not be the end of this ordeal. The US as we knew it is gone and even we suddenly had ideal circumstances from this moment on, rebuilding is going to take WORK.

      If they succeed, it’ll just mean 50 years in the desert for several cycles of poorly educated kids. Vance will step up. Rich people will prosper. Blah, blah, blah. Systemic change requires targeting the keys to power, not the shape of power. Donors do more damage, imo

          If pointing out that there are infinitely better targets in a complex system is giving up, then my job is giving up.
