Trump commentary from Penzeys

If you're not on Penzeys email list, you should be. Here's an excerpt from the latest one:

But somewhere in these last four years, buried in our memories underneath the avalanche of Republican lies, is just what a nearly complete failure he has been at most everything his whole life long. He can con, and lie, and fool some of the people all the time, but he can’t lead, he can’t manage, and solving problems has always been somehow just beyond his grasp.

He's not wrong. We will get through this. The Fascist Felon's ineptitude & narcissism will be his undoing.

5. Some future (D) President should award Penzey a medal for rallying the troops in the dark hours.

He is a small business man who has the guts to speak out when our elected Congress member quiver in their boots.

3. That Is Some Wishful Thinking

Trump is a Fascist and he is surrounded by MAGA fanatics and Project 2025 operatives. We are up against a real Fascist Regime and defeating it is going to be the fight of our lives. It is going to take active organization and forceful resistance. Trump is no chess player but some of the people around him are and he is following their plan. We need to be tougher and smarter. Trump and his people are dangerous. Wishful thinking is not going to stop him. Smart organization and a strong counter operation might.

6. Underestimating Trump

It is a mistake to underestimate Trump. People laughed when he announced in 2015. I remember George Stephenopoulos laughing and saying "he will never be President". Well, everyone that thought that was wrong. He has now been elected to the Presidency twice. He is better prepared and surrounded by dedicated, life-long Fascists who have been planning for this their entire lives.

This is a dangerous and organized Fascist Regime and they are not going to be stopped by platitudes and wishful thinking. Trump is dumb but cunning. Mussolini was like that as well, and that is not coincidence. The Trump MAGA Fascist Regime is only going to be stopped by an organized and strong counter-operation. Hope is important but it must be tempered by realism.
