2024-09-11T21:55:06Z

Hey, citizens, particularly if you identify as "Republican," or even "undecided:"

I want you to go into a job interview for a C-level position, at the world's largest company (or near as you can find), for a job you've already had, that will be make-or-break for the entire company, its employees, customers, and stockholders, and when they ask you a strategy question that you have been loudly opinionated on prior to your previous employment, during your previous employment, and then after your previous employment as well, I want you to look irritated and say directly to the interviewer's face:

I have concepts of a plan [for that], and you'll hear about it in the not too distant future."

Try that. See how that works for you. Oh, you don't have to because you know how abjectly, insanely unprepared you'd sound, how nakedly absurd it is that this would be your answer (and has been all along, even when you called for votes to dismantle it and were asked "but what would you replace it with?"), and at what volume you'd be laughed out of the room?

Yeah. Me too. That's why when the guy who wants to be your POTUS says it, you should do that very same thing.

THAT. ANSWER. WAS. JUST. AS. RIDICULOUS. AS. HIS. ENTIRE.
CANDIDACY.

I took two days off from work a week or two ago. They were marvelous -- I woke up and was energized and even got a few things (not as much as I wanted, but more than I normally do) done.

I was encouraged that I would be on a positive trajectory to not just constantly and consistently feel like absolute garbage by the time the weekends roll around, and that I'd continue my energy, my not feeling sick or unwell or painful (or at least, to a more tolerable level), and that I'd get a few things done on the weekends. Perhaps even start turning over a new leaf.

Nope. All weekend. Felt like absolute ass. Tired, exhausted even. Just want to sleep.

I have no explanation for this, and I'm kind of disheartened by it. Why does it take me half a day to feel functional?

_________________________

I don’t know if that’s actually right or not because I was 6months old when Reagan took over.

But I know that, my dad for instance, doesn’t recognize the Republican Party (my mom is an evangelical trumper but they are divorced) and the one thing that *I* have seen shrivel in my lifetime is policy positions.

I think Reagan was great at delivering policy positions. Most of them have turned out at best to be wrong and at worst hot garbage, but they were arguments for positions nonetheless.

I still have policy debates with my dad. Not because I’m dyed in the wool blue but right now the democratic party makes up a huge portion of my values — but we haven’t known a real policy debate in this country in years.

Gingrich helped seal that deal. And then we birthed Steve Bannon who popularized “flooding the zone with so much sh!t” and here we are with Trump as Jesus and everyone in their corners and the first sensible — not great — just the first actual attempt at a border bill getting shot down because it would make reelection a problem.

I hate this. I want a forum of ideas. I want to hear from the communists and the anarchists and the left and the right and the really left and the centrist who compromises on everything to get to the long run.

We don’t even know how.
