I am posting this comment by Steve Schmidt as a test for DU. Do you want the harsh truth or

36. I'll give Schmidt points on this:

What Elon is stealing doesn’t belong to him.

It wasn’t earned by him.

He is trying to steal our shared inheritance and its preservation for our children and generations beyond them from now, which is our most important trust and duty.


This is what it's always been about and I would remind you and Schmidt this is what Democrats warned the public about a gazillion times.

The so-called legacy media has been in on the fix for a good long time making excuses, sane washing, hurling one provocative headline after another to bash any and all Democrats while burnishing the balls of every Republican.

This coup goes deep and those who have the most $ and prestige to lose (as in Joe & Mika) folded early. It was okay to tout pro democracy programming until it threatened their bottom line. It's the way authoritarianism works--bow to the King or get sent to the tower. Or the rack if you're stubborn.

Here's a suggestion. We stop pointing fingers and the woe-is me-chorus and unite, all of us, every stripe to obstruct, delay, agitate Republicans while attempting to inform our fellow citizens of what's occurring beneath their sleepy eyes. They'll understand if this movement is successful but by then it will be too late to do anything without utter destruction. We missed our best chance with the 2024 election.

But that is done, over, zip.

People don't need a history lesson because history is being made in the moment, the biggest heist known to man.

The Way Forward is forward, not back!

One more thing: Christ on a Cracker, Stop Blaming Democrats!

This is a Republican debacle. They own it. They need to eat it, something we should be reminding them everyday. They want to walk into the light? That's good and fine. But if they continue to choose the darkness? We fight 'em like hell because this is our war and there's no one else to fight it.

Just to reiterate Schmidt's best line:

He (Elon) is trying to steal our shared inheritance and its preservation for our children and generations beyond them from now, which is our most important trust and duty.

Believe it.
