2026, if it is not progressive, it will be conservative.
Americans want fundamental change. Not the hope of change, not the promises of change, but actual real-world, live to see it and experience it, everyday type of change.
It is why many people were tricked and bought into the lie, Donald Trump was selling. And if we cannot match that, we will receive only more of the nonsense conservatives sell.
We'll go left or we'll go right.

Israel has failed to meet US demands to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza. The US now says its demands were really just "suggestions".
Eight international aid organizations say that, of 19 required measures of compliance with the US demand, Israel failed to comply with 15 & only partially complied with four.
The UN says Israel let only one aid mission into north Gaza this month & then attacked the receiving shelters.

What a surprise: Biden lied.
Oh well, at least he managed to get Trump elected.
That’s something, I guess.
Wish I could say “good job committing genocide by proxy, Democrats” but it looks like Trump is going to beat you at that too.
Damn, maybe you should’ve been playing a different game… Turns out you can’t beat Trump at fascism.

So... Musk will be appointed to an official position in the Trump government.
From the BBC:
"Critics of the Musk/Trump power coupling point out that Musk has successfully manoeuvred himself into a smart spot: a position of authority inside the very administration which fundamentally regulates, and often uses, his businesses."
... How is that even legal? Are conflicts of interest allowed for US government employees??

Well, great. Full-fat fascism it is, then. Trump will basically get to do whatever the fuck he wants for the next four years (and maybe for as long as he lives).
Of all the post-election analysis, it’s interesting that no one seems to be talking much about wealth or income
I saw an FT headline that reads "Poorer voters flocked to Trump”
But that’s not true, Not by these statistics:
statista.com/statistics/153529…
The very lowest incomes favored Harris slightly, as did the highest
It was the mid-to-low incomes that “flocked” to Trump, not the very poorest
That seems important

“Palestine, in this sense, is a mirror—revealing the rot at the heart of American liberal politics, a rot so deep that no amount of rhetoric can cover it … The reality is that Palestine did indeed cost the Democrats the election, though not in the crude, singular way that some might imagine … in Palestine’s fate, millions have glimpsed their own—a collective understanding that their cries for change, their demands for justice, would remain unanswered.”
