I dont know. The race is tightening. Trump has a lot of support from men and women. And then there are people who dont like him but believe him a strong man, a leader in that way, and Kamala represents empathy and joy not toughness and asshole like the authoritarians are. They think she is soft. I dont. She's not a great orator and is just repeating her practiced lines. She is no obama or either of the clintons. Or a trump. I think she could win. And I know she could also lose. Because its a race and Trump makes people do things they would never do otherwise. He is a martyr and a monster.... She's not a monster. She wants to pursue policy, be effective, and welcoming to republlicans who HATE trump... her plan could work. Some women who like being in a traditional world value his manhood. But even women who do, outside of his cult, dont really like him, and have to decide between what scares them more, trans re kids or their own health care. The religious see themselves as on the march. The goony monsters big guys like Musk, to many come across as meglamaniacs. Decisive cruel and selfish.

I have the same feeling that the tide is turning. Hope is powerful. I’ve always been naive about good people on both sides, both sides, but such is now wiped away by the scott towels trump tossed to the people suffering under the destruction of unnatural acts of weather. He and his sidekick have separated themselves from polite society and now can be only an outlaw and a hillbilly. Hillbilly heaven on Earth = Project 2025.
