Traveling from Then to Now, I'm looking for ways to explain how a simple world, appearing complex, is still simple. Trust Yourself. Not the famous, rich, glamorous, lionized or glorified.

One question that is repeatedly raised, is "why do liberal/progressive candidates struggle with attracting Black voters. First, with all voters, while polling defines demographics, all people are individuals, with different thoughts and motivations. But while women, and Black women, have been

Repeatedly, I have seen both polls and articles about these polls, about a lack of warmth that older, more conservative Black voters have for the New Gen DSA and Progressive candidates. To some extent, it is true - I could tell candidate after candidate WHY it is so, newrepublic.com/post/213925/...

"conservatism" (lower case "c") is not a reason to vote for a Republican. Republican simply means CORRUPTION with different letters. Spelled differently. When has a Republican ever worked? Or planned? Or built? Or done? Anything? Ever? Being a CEO is not "work." Being a "manager." is not work.

One of the worries within the Democratic Party, is how Trump and Republicans use "branding" to define their opponents. Branding the DSA and Progressives as "communists" (because the word "socialist" is no longer effective) is key to the thinking of the "conservative" www.aaihs.org/the-progress...

In 1776 (the year America was born), Adam Smith published a book call "The Wealth of Nations." He wrote about the free market system being an "Invisible Hand." The Republican Party, since giving up on Reconstruction in 1877, has been invisibly rigging the economy by "any means necessary."

As a self-defined "conservative," I read and use the "Conservative" media to point out their historical hypocrisy. "The Capitalist tool," Forbes, reports that Musk will pay for the Republican Party corruption in November. The GOP SCOTUS gave us this. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

This, and Musk's decision to fund the GOP with $100m, is underscoring what I've been saying: it isn't Trump, but the Republican Party. Europe has the history to say "No." This could destroy FIFA just like the Republican Party destroyed the NRA. www.oregonlive.com/nation/2026/...

I know that this is Systemic Bias. I am fine with being Systemically Biased about this: "When a Republican speaks, assume they are lying." MAKE individual Republicans PROVE that they are not lying.

I will make a non-political statement: Don't vote for any Republican. A billion dollars is 20,000 people making $50,000 a year or $50,000 MORE a year. The war, according to Hegseth has cost more than $37B. Trump's family has made at least $5B this past year in corrupt insider dealings. Republican

When you vote Republican, you get Republican administrations, Republican Congress people and Republican senators. You get Republican Supreme Court Justices, Republican state houses, and Republican policies. You get Republican economies, Republican wars, Republican murders and concentration camps.
