As usual, el galo hits an home run here, but as noted it’s still early in the game. But we also still need to be extremely careful that we do not shoot ourselves in the foot (head?) by not recognizing the dangers created by some of the good stuff we are cheering (as noted by James Corbett & others). For example, Elon’s brain chips, JD’s close affiliation with Thiel, and Trump’s plans for a national digital ID system for election integrity are all cause for concern.

The Marxist boil on the butt of humanity never really goes away. Lancing it so often is all we can do.

Yes. It's not so much that the The Ds politicians are immoral and destructive. It's that their voters unquestionably support politicians that will keep them in chains.

If you invented fire they'd burn you at the stake for teaching them how to light it.

They'll take any statement of fact and turn it into a question of motive.

It's not even worth debating with the zealots.

2020 was not that long ago! It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes.

The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.

Yes. As happy as I am about all the things Trump and Elon are doing, the things you mention temper any unalloyed optimism. And I believe that the demons have not given up and gone away.

Yes. We need to limit unforced errors because they'll bludgeon us with them
