The road to winning is with suffering [1]

the road to winning next elections is if things really suck. This will mean that we have to endure suffering. Winning through suffering.

Generally voters seem to react mostly to their own circumstances, with little empathy. They really don’t care if disease spreads in Africa. They probably don’t even care if diseases spreads in their state. As long as it doesn’t hit them personally.

whether Democrats protest at the state of the union, I’m not sure it matters. Protest or don’t protest, I’m not sure anyone is watching.

Voters do care if inflation rises. If their 401k drops. If their social security check doesn’t come.

unfortunately such effects don’t only affect trump voters. They affect all of us.

so I think we will all need to feel the pain of this failed presidency, in order to move on.
