There is an article to be written about how the primary currency of conservatism is abuse.

In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none. Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO

Is there a way to know when we’ve crossed over officially into the Whimper phase of “Not with a bang but a whimper”? After all, no one has ever seen whimpering like this—we must be close.
