We're all on the Titanic and all the smart people are arguing about the menu. The ship's hands that can see the ice berg in the distance are trying to change course. They may hit another ice berg, they may hit another ship or some other peril, but they are trying to steer clear. If you look what the US faces now after all these years of bilateral mismanagement and fiscal abuse -- fill in the blank for your self -- and all the other woke lunacy, I'm not sure it really makes a difference. It may be too late to course correct. Credentialed people got us into this mess, but my feeling is that with Trump's people we at least have a chance to avoid the ice berg and confront the next disaster.

I think the credentialed class, the Dems’ leadership, and gutless establishment Repubs have no one else to blame but themselves for Trump's victory.

They did it to themselves in large part by falsely conflating Trump’s often grating and obnoxious public persona with criminality, and then grossly abusing the national security apparatus and the courts in order to frame and vilify him. Hell, there were even two assassination attempts on him!

In the process they made the guy into a political martyr.

And, as if breaking the law/rules in order to screw Trump wasn’t enough, they covered up Biden’s mental diminishment going back to the 2020 campaign.

To paraphrase Glenn Reynolds, the coverup basically allowed largely anonymous people with lanyards hanging from their 11-inch necks to run the executive branch.

Getting even with these crooked scumbags should not be the first, second, or third goal, but if many of them get it shoved so far up their exit ramps it makes their eyes bulge, it’s all for the better.
