Progressives, liberals, and Democrats have always been somewhat of a fragile bunch. We don't trust anything will ever get better! Most of us just want economic fairness and opportunities, and for people to be treated fairly and equally. With the way in which most of the news and pundits talk about how unhinged and geriatric Trump had been behaving during the campaign, and just how great and perfect of a campaign Kamala Harris was running, it felt like Kamala Harris was a shoe in, as if the election was just a formality. Then it happened, and we were crushed...


This, of course, came as quite a shock to many of us who were expecting a close race, but ultimately a total Trump defeat and Harris victory. All of those who we've grown to rely on and trust to gauge the outcome, and the good vibes we were all feeling, it all turned out to be wrong, a self-deception based on vibes rather than reality. We have never seen every predictor fail like this so totally before, and it was quite an unprecedented and shocking outcome. Although it has now come to pass that the race was actually very close, with Kamala Harris only losing by 1.4%, this Trump win has shocked the left wing echosphere to its very core, having many people shook by the rapid and extreme changes this is having on the media, social media, politics, and our very lives! I was so dumbfounded and floored myself, I literally was in shock and my brain broke, and I had to take some serious personal time to retool my life and my thinking just to deal with the reality, that Trump will (gag!) be President again, and MAGA will (sigh!) reign supreme, in all their cruel and hateful glory.


Most of us political junkies know that it will most likely bring about chaos, corruption, a total disruption to systemic and democratic norms, and mean-spirited and austere policy changes that will have far reaching effects on America and people's daily lives, affecting some demographics more than others. But I'm here to tell you, there is real HOPE, and I'm not just saying that to butter you up. I truly believe this is the straw that will break the camel's back, and a better, stronger, more unified and fitter fighting progressive movement will grow from the ashes of their former selves, and from this Trump victory. I'm here to tell ya, do not despair, their will be a time to fight again, and it could be marvelous!


Please watch or listen all the way through, I sincerely believe that I'm onto something good here! This whole episode is here to help people reshape their thinking, their lives, and their optimism when it comes to what, on the surface, looks like only negativity, despair, and chaos. Believe me when I say, the resistance is coming, and it will be glorious! This will be the fuel that sparks a new era of a better, stronger, and more functional progressive resistance. Plus, here I also talk about just how you should be living and thinking about things right now, instead of the doom scrolling on politics, or the midnight runs to the fridge for another scoop of ice cream, or to the liquor cabinet for another shot of booze! I know people are feeling like there's no hope. But there is an underlying upside here, and here I'll go into it in detail. There is always hope when you have chaotic lunatic fringe morons running things into the ground! We will prosper once again! Hang in there, and know you have a friend at the Bryar Patch!


Behold, my stuff!
