Wow, Brie. This is such good work. And it's a *lot* of work. Thank you for doing it. Don't let yourself burn out, give yourself breaks when you need to now and then, find ways to recharge so you can safeguard your energy and retain your commitment to this project. I think the work you're doing is so important.

One non thing Trump is requesting, has already happened. They quit making the penny under the Biden admin. Trump acts like he invented it.

You and I have been mulling the same points. 😊 Today, I had a bit of an Aha! moment. What if most of the lawmakers have gotten on the bandwagon because of promises of riches beyond their wildest dreams? Like how Putin carved up Russia when he gave the heads of all the agencies ownership of the underlying assets? And made Russia the oligarchy it is today? Except in the US we have a few oligarchs already due to our free marketplace of ideas but all the senators who confirmed the horrible cabinet nominees will be rewarded with Muskrat’s shares in all his companies, and Bezos, too, and Thiel, Andreesen, et al. I think some like Lindsay Graham were coerced through blackmail to start but he’s been such a loyalist, he’ll get his payout, too. I think the only thing that will get us back is overwhelming turnout in elections for the next 10-15 years and a general strike a few times a year where NO ONE goes to work for at least a week. Times are going to be tough but we have to ask ourselves - we were born in a free country, do we want to die in one, or not? I know I do. They can GFATWO.

Thank you. Please continue. I think your analysis of the three types of Maga supporters is spot on, and I share your hope. They will realize they have been lied to and they will be pissed. And the great American working class will rise again against the billionaire mafia.
