“We Braved Through It”
Zoom TODAY, Sunday, Noon PT / 3PM ET
Happy Sunday friends,
We have made it almost a full year through the Trump regime. It has been brutal—to put it mildly. But it was also foreseeable. I wrote this on 1/15/25, just before Biden’s farewell address.
Joe Biden says “we braved through it. We emerged stronger, more prosperous, and more secure.” I beg to differ. Joe Biden never left the alternate reality of the establishment. He surrounded himself with milquetoast aides who fed him the positive outcomes he was looking for, but never gave him the truth.
The “America” Joe Biden fixed the economy for is dead. The establishment alternate reality he will talk about tonight is dead. None of what he did matters because the other alternate reality, the fascist conspiracy movement created by Flynn and his co-conspirators, now replicated at monstrous scale by Musk, is more powerful and more organized, with infinite financial resources. This is not Trump 2.0, it’s a takeover by the PayPal Mafia, a group of Nazi immigrants who saw us as a soft target.
Unfortunately, this was correct. We allowed predators to engorge themselves on our system until they were large enough to buy themselves into power. And now that they’re inside, we’re all just defenseless loot.
As I watch establishment Democrats like Chuck Schumer say things like “today was a day for bipartisanship,” I am reminded again that politics, whichever side you’re on, is just an alternate reality game.
But this is not a game anymore. There are no rules, only survival.
Please join me today at Noon PT / 3PM ET to discuss the cascading lunacy of the world around us, how we should process it, and where it’s all going. No pressure to talk but we have a supportive, intelligent community and it’s open for any questions.
