Yeah, I don’t mean to be pessimistic, but given all the knee bending, I don’t have much hope for the next 4 years and beyond when it comes to freedom. I don’t think most MAGA people have respect for the constitution or law & order. That respect seems to be eroded.
This is something I learned back in the early 70s, and which is even more true today. Americans don’t want the soap on the rope. They are terrified at the prospect of even a little freedom, and will do anything to find someone to tell them what to think and do.
It’s 4 years until the next scheduled bullshit, whether that’s a third term, eradicating the constitution, or bringing about the end of America / the west / humanity. We could all go up sooner, but I expect Bo Burnham’s “7 more to go,” to somehow be right (came out in 2021, so 2028 seems about right).
We lost freedoms during Bush, carried on by every president since. I guess we’ll see what happens to the machinations next…
Thanks for the updoots & the fish. Hope it was a good ride.

Bold of you to assume it’ll only be 4 years.
