Wicked review

We went to see Wicked (Part 1) today.
The story of a person scorned for their different coloring, fighting against a corruption establishment.
Nice to see the Trump story in theaters already.

Avoiding the W slump

Republicans now have the most political power they've had since 2005.
Presidency
Senate majority
Likely House majority.
But George W. Bush didn't stay on top for long in 2005. 

Iraq 

Hurricane Katrina.

Will items like that take President Trump down?

Internationally, he'll be trying to stop wars instead of getting blame for his past wars.

Hurrieanes?

He's got Ron DeSantis on his side.

Democrats will need to find something else to boost their hopes.

Winning formula for 2028

The day after losing to Donald Trump, Democrats are struggling to figure out what happened.

They've focused on two things that will help them lose again in 2028.

1. We've got to find the missing voters from 2020.

2. Trump voters followed disinformation.

Hope they continue their focus.

Winning in 2028 will be easier for J.D. Vance if Democrats take the wrong road.

Will Biden follow James Buchanan's ineptitude?

Let's think past the sale - Trump wins on Tuesday.
Protesters start doing damage in multiple cities and begin to overwhelm local authorities.
What does Joe Biden do?
For all the worries about Donald Trump being a dictator, he has to wait until Jan. 20.
It was the time between election and inauguration when seven southern states left the Union.
James Buchanan did very little as the country traveled down the path to Civil War. And he's not remembered fondly for his inaction.
Can Biden do anything?
Can you see Barack Obama or Bill Clinton giving a speech asking for calm? Respect for the vote that returns Donald Trump to office? Yeah, we called him a fascist, a Hitler, but we need to work with him.
Will the people listen to them?

Worrying about Trump is focusing on the wrong thing.
