Look, everyone in polls say, they are doing ok to great but in the next state over or the national arena the economy is going to the dogs. So if you get people from each state saying that the next state over is cratering, after 50 states a body is left wondering maybe they ought to move to the next state over. As JVL has pointed out over and over again, the stats for the macro are really good. So people are rightly pissed off about food and fuel prices, I'm on a fixed income and have no dependents and limited "assets", and I'm not actually giddy but ain't sunk yet. All the sturm and drang about people on the MAGA crew rising up and creating havoc when those folks are trying to raise a family, pay the mortgage or rent, seeing the consequences of their buds after the Capital insurrection, I would posit that outside of a few "lone wolf" types, a general up rising is not on the cards. Germany in the late thirties was a whole different situation. "Democracy" or their version of it was new. The economy was in shambles, for a lot of reasons, and Hitler understood the mood and took advantage of it and won for a time. The "Brown Shirts" were his on the ground enforcers getting him to power, but the "American" wanna be's, read MAGA diehards, forget about the "Night of the Long Knives".

I think that Trump, C.F. (Convicted Felon) should get an orange onesy and be introduced to a regimen that military folks are familiar with. He would benefit from it and might get some well needed counseling. The justice system, as folks here have repeatedly said, has worked and the Law Enforcement Officers on all levels will work too so I'm not too worried about people from the next town over, who don't know me, trying to make a colander of my physique.

It ain't boring times!
