Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

It’s worth remembering that at Bunkerville a handful of asshats with guns stood up to the feds and instead of annihilating them the feds backed off in the interest of remaining civilized. The GOP made heroes out of the protesters.

It is true that Elon has opened the door for democrats. They should tell the American people that Elon is angry because of what this bill takes away from *him* while democrats are mad because of what republicans are trying to take away from *them*. Leave the deficit out of it.

People keep banging on about trickle down doesn’t work but nobody seems to go on to the next step of explaining why. It is not subtle or mysterious and needs attention. According to the theory, extra rich people money is supposed to stimulate investment leading to broadly beneficial growth. /1

Challenge: Show me some evidence that a lack of available capital is restricting the growth of the economy. It is an absurd proposition.
