Today’s Thought

Cue the music: O beautiful for Oligarchs… .Do you get requests every day for money from candidates and political parties? I get at least ten a day. The requests I get never tell me what they’re going to do with the money, they just want money. I’ve stopped giving.

You would think the Dems and Independents would learn from the Republican example. Those guys worked for years to create “Project 2025”, full of plans for how they would turn the country into an oligarchy. The Plan contained details on how they would eliminate the checks and balances now in our Constitution and substitute executive “emergency” whims for Congressional legislation. There’s lots to say about Project 2025, but the short story is that it worked. The Republicans managed to elect a Republican dominated government, which is now in the process of destroying our Constitutional democracy.

The Dems and Independents apparently haven’t learned anything from their humiliation. They appear not to be planning how to take control back from the Project 2025 guys. They just want us to give money, which I guess they’ll use to take out ads pushing their candidates in the next election. It won’t work — money doesn’t change minds, concrete plans do. I wish they’ed ask me for reactions to actual plans for how they will get democracy back. When that happens I may start giving money again.
