The surest way to get Democrats elected in November?
Defer spending until after the election.
If the economy is suffering between now and November, Democrats will be ensured victory.
The real star of the American economy is consumer spending, which accounts for 68% of GDP
Stop spending now, except on essentials. Defer spending, as much as possible, especially on big ticket items, until after the election.
Shop, but don’t buy. Defer that gratification for a short while.
It’s important to stop spending now so there will be two quarters of bad economic news before the election.
“It’s the economy, stupid” as James Carville famously told Bill Clinton. It was then, and still is, in politics. The reelection of His Royal Heinous is largely attributed to the state of the economy, misrepresented as it was by HRH.
HRH will not destroy the economy on his own (TACO). He’s already retreating from his ill conceived war with Iran because of the damage it’s doing to the economy.
He will find a way to prop it up (like lower interest rates) because the economy is his key to keeping power.

I believe a lot of folks are doing that whether they want to or not. I saw a post (either from Krugman or Reich, can’t recall which) which said that 50% of US consumer spending is coming from the top 10% of earners.
What recharges me and has me to the point of biting down like a bulldog IS remembering what trump did to those girls. Being a victim myself - I will NEVER give up. Sure there are times where the pressures has me to the point of a breakdown. I retreat from any news at that point. Because I will do no good if I'm mentally messed up.
I come back way recharged with new anger to keep fighting. I can't wait till March 28.
I got an old worn out American flag which I will use for this occasion. Fits the current state of America. I made a tshirt with the words: NO KINGS & on the backside: Release the Epstein Files. My son is taking his snare drum. We plan on being LOUD AS FUCK!!✊🇺🇸✊
This is spot on. I volunteer with an indivisible group, and leadership is especially depleted. And yet we know when we gather and take collective action, we always feel better. We get fired up. Thanks for addressing this issue with psychological research. Great resources! No Kings 3 is going to be amazing!
We're ready. Millions of us recognize the stupidity of Trump's supporters who believe America can be governed by a man with the brain of six year old child and his amoral administration. It's a tragic testimony to the decline of American integrity that so many people have become victims of a charlatan. Well, the sleeping giant guardian of humanity has awakened and is ready to defend our freedoms and country. The enemy is within, strong and determined, but we are equal to the challenges. Let's demonstrate on the 28th with millions upon millions of people knowing history is watching and remembering.
if you're referring to the analog maze at the end, it's solvable the regular way 😜 but I do like the metaphor. (it's implied that you can go through the tunnel past the N in no kings)
Excellent article.

Yes, they must quit feeding the fascist beast that has taken over the country.
Wonderful article!!
TY for those words of encouragement.

I would call this the era of INHUMANITY.
So absolutely true. We must keep the faith TOGETHER. I'm 80 and four organized protests this week.
Thank you! Bottom line, WE NEED THIS! No Kings 3 can’t come fast enough!
Great article! I have experienced this many times (I'm a protest veteran).
The Dawn of a New Democracy in America
“The Fuckening” and when the trials start to remove these traitors, “The Reckoning”

Protests are fuel for any weary soul. Go! You’ll be revived!!!

I think this period will be known as America's Decline & Fall.
Era of America saving democracy
They shall call it the Trump Destruction of America
A maze you can only escape by refusing to play by its rules — by going around, cutting the Gordian knot, stepping outside the system entirely.
The unsolvability isn't a flaw. It's the whole point.
