Political Messaging
Here’s something I just heard an extremely right-wing friend say: Traditionally, Republicans have enjoyed more solid and coherent messaging to American voters than their Democratic opponents. Now this seems to have reversed itself, to the chagrin of conservatives who are concerned about their chances in taking over the White House in 2024.
It’s gratifying to hear this from someone who’s voted Republican his entire life. I was afraid that the GOP narrative (obstructing the forceful attempt of the “radical left” to attempt to implement “socialism”) was somehow communicating effectively.
Apparently, the majority of voters want a government that protects Social Security, women’s rights, quality education, healthcare for all, the environment, etc., even if this means higher taxes for those earning more than $400K annually.
Given the harsh realities of climate change, it’s beginning to look like what Asimov said here about the threat to humanity is exactly correct.
Here’s a “Let’s Go Brandon” flag at half-staff. Kinda funny, I must admit.

Translation: Is it still possible to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C (above pre-industrial times)? This is what recent scientific data says.
Most people across the country take a dim view of Florida, largely because of its retrogressive policies on women’s rights, book bans, racism, voter suppression, and, of course, unlimited gun rights.
Former Ohio governor John Kasich said today that Trump cannot possibly win the presidency in 2024, because “There is no way on Earth that normal people will vote for him.”
Anthropologist/primatologist Jane Goodall is optimistic about the outcome of our civilization, despite the hole we’ve dug for ourselves vis-a-vis environmental collapse.
Before you buy the hat, it may be a good idea to take into consideration the scope of the felonies Trump committed. From here, it looks like a minimum of fraud, election tampering, obstruction of justice, theft of classified documents, and seditious conspiracy.
