And we keep fighting the same battle and losing ground once we have secured an inch. I saw this coming with Reagan, it took almost 40 years but it has finally paid off and what this country is going to lose we can’t begin to imagine. I have seen people worshipping the unworthy looking at musk and the tech bros. This country cannot change unless the electorate engages in some critical thinking. They have invested billions in propaganda and they are giddy about the results.
