11. I hear you. It will be tough. We'll have to win a trifecta in 2028 first.

In the 3rd largest country on the planet, rebuilding will always be much harder than the teardown it will have experienced, for sure.

Presumably, such rebuilding will be prioritized, in my political opinion, by those who represent their voters -- us, the Democratic Party. With a trifecta won, we know the experts and can set priorities for the governmental agencies and essential rights and services to Americans at large.

I've heard Jeffries and other Democrats working on our Project 2026, which will purge trumpcult, rebuild and harden the enforcement of rule of law in the 3 branches of government.

It's broad brush right now -- we're in the middle of fighting a fascist dictatorship -- so at this point one shouldn't have to know all the details of our future restoration plans before one commits to good candidates who'll implement them.

So who do we start with? Folks like AOC, Frost, Newsom and especially Pete Buttigieg, who'll fire partisans and American non-voters up!
