Good article. You wrote: "Manchin might be dumb too. The coal industry is going to be hit hard by this new tax and green energy subsidies will skate by untouched."

With respect, Manchin is not dumb. He is rich and getting richer. He does not care about his state's industries because he will be gone in a few years and have untold millions, power, and be invited to all the right parties. 90% of these politicians are on the grift and graft train, Manchin included.

Turning all this around within the normal process, with the administrative swamp state in place, well, we are fooling ourselves. It is not going to happen.

GOPe is nothing more than “controlled opposition”. They are the lovable losers who just say ah shucks and shrug. We are sick and tired of this brand of republicanism which is why you’re seeing an uprising in the Republican Party towards America First priorities and that prairie fire will only grow. Trump taught the GOP how to play offense and there no going back now.
