Even BBC normalizes lies now by giving voice to people like Steve Bannon without calling him out. Makes me sick.

Agree with you. And what astounds me is that the dems still don't understand the problem, there's no long term plan, no priorities, no mission statement. Maga will continue to win elections bec there's a huge population of ppl who refuse to vote for second best. They want to vote FOR something, not against. So they don't vote. If those voters do get out n vote, they'll go with voting for the third party just like what happened in 2016. And the Republicans will squeak by again.

the point of the t firehose effect is to wear people down. Personally, I find it repetitive and boring. Every time he loses (and he's lost a lot lately) he whines and then lashes out. He deflects and distracts like a spoiled brat. It only makes him look weak, pathetic and powerless.

I hadn’t read any of your work before this but dropped in tonight to have a look. There’s an originality about your thinking patterns that I want to consider for a while when I’m not so tired as now, so I’ll be back. But I wanted to draw your attention to one of your sentences here:

“Opinion polls currently show he’s not just underwater, he’s reaching the depths at which submersibles implode.”

Creative, funny, and straight to the point. I love a really good sentence.

Martin, I’m a senior citizen, living on Social Security and a very small annuity. I give where and when I can. I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your Substack and your videos and your passionate and compassionate heart that promises to keep going no matter what (at least until you’re 70 :) ) What you say makes a difference because truth really does matter and like love as Gandhi said …”will win in the end”

And if your bucket to fix the problem has a hole, fix the hole to fix the bucket. In other words. . . don't just give up.

Thanks for your great heart in applying your time and expertise to the great work of helping people understand what’s actually happening, and to accept the necessity for urgent, ongoing action. The world and our descendants, should there be any survivors, will have you and other dedicated Warriors of Truth to thank for your part in helping us to reclaim our country and our planet.
