1. It wasn't the economy, stupid. It is the Dictatorship.

It's blowing people in boats out of the water. It's ICE. It's demolishing the White House and all it stood for. It's demonizing Democrats. It's SNAP. It's the cost of health insurance. It's tariffs and the cost to consumers. The economy has held up well, even if many lost jobs from Government downsizing or AI.

Most all of those factors are errors of commission by Trump and the GOP. The power grab is now public knowledge. You want to stand with patriots, or you want the GOP version of fascism?

That's 2026. Things will get worse before they get worse. Without a political flip, it's all going down the tubes.
