This is *great!* I'm so glad I kept reading and didn't assume it was just a 'here's VDH's new article' column. This is what I've been saying to people, too. Are we about to cross the Delaware? Are we at Valley Forge? Hell, no! Where's our gumption? We were given this great gift of our constitutional republican form of government; we should be using all of its tools to the max. Most of us have been sitting on our duffs for most of our lives, instead of being engaged citizens; that time must end. The solution is in the mirror.

Good stuff Larry! I very much like your take on things. It would be absolutely wonderful if all MAGA ballots were victorious in November, but some will not be. Nevertheless, we fight on!

Well-connected, Larry, and connections now are everything. Been following this since I stopped traveling to the Eastern Bloc in 2008, after 17 yrs. I can't do a thing about the top floors, the front office, but have a good estimate of the rank and file ...and their predisposition to wealth, being spoiled, and drugs, which I missed totally. All the way back to Hinckley, the son of a millionaire oil baron, or even further Leopold and Loeb. It's in their water, only now they are in the millions rather than a few hundred. Identification only half the job, what-to-do the other half. I'll be in touch.
