Why is no one holding his feet to the fire on his record? Why don’t I see ads with his nonsensical egotistical Meanderings (about how great things were under him) with a stream of images of the bar shit, dangerous and terrible headlines of his four years in office -the things he and his administration had a direct hand in. Not just Jan 6th. I know there was much more shit than I can remember. And I remember there being a whole lot.

Honestly, I think the fence-sitter voters know he’s batshit crazy. But they don’t know Kamala all that well. So she’s choosing to focus on her relatively normal biography and some vision of the future.
People know he’s crazy, but some keep saying they are better off now based solely on inflation. I honestly think they forget what that crazy looked like in power and the real ways it fucked up people’s lives. They think he’s absurd but strong. They forget that they thought he was ‘hurting the wrong people.’
I’m not saying it should be Kamala’s focus. But I’m surprised no other group is doing that. There were a ton of articles like that in 2020, 2021 and 2022 (more balanced than my proposal but still talking through the realities of his tenure) that have been lost to time.
I wish she'd come to KC but no reason to I suppose.
I get that their time is very limited, and historically only a handful of states really matter. But I think people underestimate how different things might be if people in the middle states felt seen. Here in Iowa, everyone cares about us through the caucus, and then it feels like they never show up again. I believe Obama did…and he won this state. I don’t think it’s necessarily a coincidence.
This part is so frustrating. The public argument to keep the electoral college is to ensure that everyone has a voice and not one or two places when elections happen. In reality of course, the reason they want the electoral college is because they can cheat and gerrymander themselves to a win. But no one ever calls them on the real argument or that their public argument is also not true.

Ironically, the only one who I see consistently calling Trump out on his craziness and lies is former(?) Evangelical Pastor John Pavlovitz. His FB is non-stop calling out the ridiculousness. And yesterday, on Instagram, @joyannreid reposted something from @rbreich that was fantastic. It started as the 10 worst things about a Trump Presidency...and he kept adding to it until it was 75. He still missed a lot. Ugh. I admittedly had tucked a lot of that in a corner of my brain where I didn't have to think about it. I can't think about the anxiety that was on my chest 24/7/365 when he was in office. It's probably no coincidence that I've been having a flare of anxiety and BP issues again recently.

I was about to respond with that video from Robert Reich. I had to stop watching at item 50 because it was just overwhelming. I shared it for my undecided social media connections.
