mr davis always seems aware and capable of describing our current realities; 

 

It’s the distinct knowledge that nothing is ever going to happen to anyone on the left that drives one mad. The only rational conclusion is that there’s a whole government made up of communists with only slight divisions to keep the majority believing that it can get better. It’s time to recognize that it won’t.

Many people have proposed this, who understand it better than I do. I first recognized it more than a decade ago, but the rest of the country wasn’t ready to hear it. I believe that they are now.

Trump, whether you like him, or not, is making some very serious mistakes that have shaken and divided his supporters. I didn’t expect much from him going in and, to a great degree, he has satisfied what I did expect, but now, in the second term, he seems distracted, neutered, focusing on things that don’t matter and ignoring those that do.

His hiring practices continue to be a big problem. It always seems irrational and contingent on things that are surface-level. The very concept of endorsing Cornyn in Texas is liable to fragment his supporters in the whole state. We know who Cornyn is and detest him. That Trump is unaware of that, or ignores that pits, him against the majority of Republicans in the state. If Wesley Hunt was not in the race it might have been more clear-cut how badly Cornyn is detested, but Hunt provided him some cover by making the race seem closer than it really was. And yet, this too seems theatrical, something to keep the politicos busy while everyone else goes about their lives............more.........
